    No idea. Maybe they're whole. Maybe in pieces. Guess we need to send a diver out


    I wonder if they could have floated them out there of if they just shoved them off of a barge.

    That is so stupid all you need is a hull flip it over make a mold its been done before.
    These day it can be scanned and be a drawing before lunch time.

    I heard its hard to make a mold using a hull as the plug because
    you have to account for shrinkage when it cures. Whatever that means.

    I actually was involved in that Ericsson 35 deal. I did some of the original test sails on the first Ericsson 35 produced. It was a very good looking boat for that time. Nothing special in its sailing characteristics.

    Dan, do you remember his name. That boat building community back then was pretty small.

    It was available 15 years ago and was about 130K not that much if you want to start scanning hulls.
    Todays tech it can be done before morning break.
