Simple foil design for large boat centerboard ?

Simple foil design for large boat centerboard ?

(OP)
  Hi, I am in need of a foil design for a centerboard for a 52' boat. If I had the foil widths for different station in percentages of length or???, then I could scale it to fit my application. Does such a thing exist?

  Another way to say it is;  If a centerboard was to be 3" in max thickness and 4' across, what would be the percentages of the 3" at say 10 stations across it's width?

  Any clues that would fit my question are highly appreciated.

  Thanks,  David
