I am looking for a good high quality line drawing of a Cat 25 SK that I can use to create a nice t-shirt design.

Tried the one in the brochure and it's close, but alot of work to clean it up.

Anyone have this already done?

I'm waiting for results too. I keep forgetting to ask my daughter to do one since the jaggies appear pretty quickly with the one online and even one I scanned.

We need to find a vector-based drawing of the C25 and post it here on the site. A vector based image can be resized without becoming distorted. This would likely be in an .svg or .eps file.
In the very unlikely chance that you are not up to speed on vector images (I speak to guest users of the forum, I'm certain all us old salts could explain this in our sleep... lol), here is a link to a good brief summary of the reason for vector images.

Scanning a T-shirt sized image and saving in a raster format (.bmp, .tiff, .jpg) would also be fine.

Scott, you're a strange, strange man. We need more like you.

Sorry, I just had to steal it for my profile. I might make it my facebook profile too.

I have one.
Give me some time to hook a zip drive up to this computer.
It is in Adobe Illustrator format.

Shouldn't it also have 3 "whatzits" on the small sail?

At one time, we had a line drawing. I don't remember where we got it, and don't know what happened to it, but it was used to make some very nice tee shirts that were sold/given away at one of the national regattas. I still have my shirt(s), if anyone can use them to re-constitute the artwork.

If John's version isn't suitable, I can cook up something in AutoCAD.

Here is the drawing I used to make mine it's on the bottom of the Tech Tips page in the main web site.

http://www.catalina-capri-25s.com/tech/tech25/pictures/jillcat.gif

It's "jaggy" so I drew over it. It will still take a day or so till I can access mine but you might be able use the one on the web site.

I finally got my zip drive up and working and have a drawing of a full keel C-25. I have made T-shirts from it and they looked OK. A little jagginess still by the rudder but OK elsewhere.
It is an ai Illustrator 8 file.
E-mail me for the file either on the forum or I am listed on the officers page.

Nice drawing. Here's a graphic design tip: To transfer something like this to a t-shirt, you'll want to find a way to make the lines a bit fatter. Thin lines on a t-shirt just kind of wash out and an image like this, that looks great on paper (or a computer screen) doesn't quite read on a t-shirt.

I did not draw the design. I just modified it from a full keel sketch.

When I get some time I can bring it up it "Paint" and make all the lines thicker. i will post it when I get it done. Anyone else can take this and modify it any wau they want.
