Posted by [ksaltonstall](https://info.taboracademy.org/blog/author/ksaltonstall) on Feb 15, 2013 8:51:59 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![IMG_3056](https://info.taboracademy.org/hs-fs/file-3594976809-jpg/blog-files/img_3056.jpg?width=584&height=438&name=img_3056.jpg)](https://info.taboracademy.org/hs-fs/file-3594976809-jpg/blog-files/img_3056.jpg) When Tabor alumni Will ’71 and Hank Keene ‘70, owners of [Edson Marine](http://www.edsonintl.com), learned that students in the Practical Ship and Boat Design classes were in great need of additional spline weights for the design aspects of their course, they stepped right in to help. They wanted to encourage our hands on learning approach to boat design. Spline weights with splines, shown on the table in the photo above, allow the designer to set up “fair” boat curves in the design process. Because of the popularity of modern computer aided design (CAD) methods, spline weights and splines are difficult to find. Edson Marine is one of the few marine suppliers that still sell spline weights. The Practical Ship and Boat Design students wish to thank the Keene brothers and Edson Marine for their support and generosity!
