    Cat-Cut Formula?

    For all you DIY tarp makers out there -
    How do you determine how deep your cat-cut is?
    Is there a formula?
    Is the curve radial or parabolic?

    I'm trying to come up with my own version of the Honeymoon tarp that'll need a minimal flap at the wide end.

    Here's the most recent thread about cat-cuts where a spreadsheet is used to plot the curve.

    I think Mad777 made a spreadsheet for the calculations too.
