I replied to this directly, then it occured to me there might be somebody else who cares.... The Jan87 SAIL magazine has an article on this. It isn't very satisfactory from a computer person's point of view, but does provide pointers to several companies. I've assumed that 'boats' implied recreational type things, not 'ships'. I also suspect that contacting any competent naval architect would elicit a reasonable amount of information if you can get them to talk to you at all - not always easy, especially if you don't want a boat drawn (and sometimes even if you do). -- John Pierce Chemistry Dept, B-032 jwp%chem@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu University of California, San Diego sdcsvax!sdchem!jwp La Jolla, CA 92093
