• Pleasure boat design 55' to 165' (Fiberglass and steel motoryachts)  
• Laser theodolite hull measurement of vessels. (approx 25 vessels 55'-225').  Author of BaseLine II, THE interactive hull fairing system.

According to Cliff, “In the marine design industry, accuracy and quality of workmanship go hand-in-hand. At BaseLine Technology, these attributes are our stock in trade.  We strive to incorporate new technology, but only as it is proven effective in maintaining or improving quality and accuracy. These same attributes manifest themselves in our software. BaseLine is constantly under development, as are AutoLisp routines which automate design tasks which would be too complex to be undertaken manually. Our hull measurement is an example of technology which has proven itself to improve accuracy. An added benefit is that it reduces measurement costs and time necessary to produce needed output.”
