Sorry, the roots are in Germany yes, but it was not Herr Eshoff, it was Herreshoff:

Halsey was nearly right, it is spoken Herres hoff. Was not bossy but here is one telling the world that he has the only recipe of baking bred, but does´nt know the name of one of the most respected of his profession.

Even my wife enjoys Nature of Boats and set about calculating the Hp of her Laser dinghy. I used the prop calcs to work out my prop size and my size tallied exactly with 4 propeller manufacturers. Great book.
