E36rh CAD design or model definitions

[EngineerSailing]

Hi, Does anyone have a CAD model or engineering model definitions they don't mind sharing for the Ericson36 RH?

I'm looking to refit and do some conversion to be a cruiser on a prospective E36. Having base models to draw changes on would be useful if they exist to share.
Thanks Carlton

Any response, let me know.

I've been told by an old sailing here at Sale Creek Marina, that Ericson did use computer CAD but were in an old pre-DOS line model format

Hello Carlton; Thanks for the reply. Just a few days ago I made contact with the engineer who shared the first personal computer I ever saw. .1979. I hadn't spoken to him in 45 years. Hard drive was a tape deck. There is a documentary of Ron Holland where he describes converting software from Porche over to boats. I was running around Shelter Island just three days ago, finalizing new sails, rigger "conferences", etc when by chance I decided to visit this Yacht Design office lodged between two places I was visiting to see what a Yacht design office looked like. There was one guy in there and we swapped stories and such. He had some impressive half models on the walls....turns out I was talking to Ben Nelson, one of Dennis Conner's America cup guys. He pointed to his drafting boards and said he still uses them once in awhile even though the industry shifted to software. I mentioned the test is really bound by penmenship...today's generation would probably appreviate "The quick Brown Fox". I told him I was restoring a 36RH and he noted he just last week was sailing on a 33. I would be interested in knowing what conversions you are thinking of.

Rob, I would be interested in hearing more about your i36RH restore if you have time.

I just left the marina a few days ago. The new solar bimini/davits is mostly done (well enough for me to head for warmer weather)
I'll post more online about it that what is already on my channel in a few months(hopefully)
right now i'm focusing on getting the next 1100nmi to below New Orleans
