UPDATE : As of 12/8/2017, I was sent a much better TIFF file of the original plans by Ted Houk. See my updated post . When Rod Carr gifted to me an unfinished wooden Rip Tide hull, it came with a CD of files from the gentleman (a man named Roger, I believe) who made it. I finally got a chance to look at the files and what a great discovery! Roger created not only several very helpful PDF files, but .dxf files too. With some work I could make files for laser cut frames, fin and rudder! NOTE : I am not the creator of these files and cannot vouch for the accuracy of them. The creator of the electronic files is unknown but the original plans for the Rip Tide go back to 1949 and are most likely in the public domain. One version of the Rip Tide lines is being freely distributed. These files are the only ones I've seen other than the original 1949 hand-drawn lines. I put them here under an assumed Creative Commons license for NON-commercial work. You are free to make your own R
