Off Marblehead [Alden Triangle Sloops] Leslie Jones, August 1932 Boston Public Library, Print Department,

Joann was designed by L Francis Herreshoff with help of its owner, Waldo Brown…built in Lynn in 1924.. Owned in the 1950s by the actor Sterling Hayden, and still around… photo in Marblehead by WB Jackson.

Lofting is a dark art, for us it starts with translating scans of the hand written table of offsets written by NGH in 1928. For the most part this isn’t too hard, any anything that looks “off” we can fair in when we draw it. HOWEVER, the transom page is nearly illegible and the voodoo that they do isn’t giving us a curve that is even remotely fair. Thankfully the boat is readable so we will be pulling the lines tomorrow morning
