Nevermind. The post looked different when I opened it up as an email in
Outlook (below). The link was http://old.nabble.com/file/p27786391/r22.pdf.
So now I'm blaming it on Bill Gates instead of a user error.

Chris,
I got a blank screen when I opened the file. Likely a user error on my
part.
Anyone else able to open it?

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Rhodes 22 computer model
Your son's (in) tuition is right on. I spent about 1/2 hour drafting three
schematic hull sections and then used the "loft" command, imported the hull
resultant hull shape into google earth, added a mast and boom and wala I
have a goofy looking Rhodes 22 shape. Now tell your son you have a summer
project for him to measure your boat and create a more accurate computer
model.
Enclosed is a pdf file with three images.
