Just curious. I guess I'd still be using a paper and pencil for the CAD stage. Maybe I need to learn how it all works.

3 in total (normally 2).

I'm an Engineer. I have a CAD station. I don't have any bar or a welder. I'm getting someone else to make the frame. As this person is not a sailor and will not have a boat as a template, I need to design the frame myself.

Sheesh, didn't realise I'd need to justify myself... just like being at work. Wink

I'm considering converting a standard box trailer into an Oppy stacker. I'd be really interested to hear from anyone who has done this, especially any plan resource sites and Oppy hull CAD models.

I'm reasonably handy on 3D CAD (Solidworks) but am a firm believer in learning from others mistakes ;-)
