After seeing my message, I realised I left out that the patterns I requested are for a cradle for the Typhoon. Or I would be interested in buying a good used cradle.

Re: Typhoon Cradle
Bob,
I had a cradle made for my TY several years ago. At present, the boat and cradle are about 4 hours away. If you can wait for a few weeks I can send some dimensions and a few pictures.

Re: Typhoon Cradle
Bob,
Several years ago, I built a trailler for my Typhoon. To get accurate measurements as to where to locate the pads, I took a "profile-photograph" and blew it up on a XEROX machine. Next, I scaled the photograph and created a scale drawing. When I had decided where to locate the supports fore-n-aft, sections were taken from inside the boat and the hull thickness added. With this information I was able to design and build a trailer using a 2nd-hand flat-bed trailer and "Brownell" boat-stand parts.
Using the same technique, i'm sure that you could obtain the necessary dimensions for building your cradle.
Good luck!
