Book w/ Lines: Cal 40, Stormy Weather, Owens Cutter, Valient 40 & more

I found an interesting book from 1979 in a used book store: Choice Yacht Designs by Richard Henderson, published by International Marine. It has lines of:
Kelpie, John G. Alden, 1928
Stormy Weather, Sparkman & Stephens, 1933
Aweigh, Sparkman & Stephens, 1933
New York 32, Sparkman & Stephens, 1936
Concordia Yawl, C. Raymond Hunt, 1938
Owens Cutter, Norman G. Owens, 1944-45
L-27, A. E. Luders Jr, 1955
Triton, Carl A. Alberg, 1958
Mason 31, Alvin Mason, 1959
Alberg 30, Carl A. Alberg, 1962
Ingenue, Edward S. Brewer, 1962
Cal 40, C. William Lathrop, 1963
Vega 27, Pet Brohall, 1964
Aleutka, John S. Letcher Jr, 1965
Redwing 30, Cuthbertson & Cassian, 1967
Amee, Edward S. Brewer, 1968
c & C 35, Cuthbertson & Cassian, 1969
Whitby 42, Edward S. Brewer, 1972
Tancook Whaler Yacht, Peter D. Van Dine, 1972-73
Valiant 40, Robert H. Perry, 1973-74
Cabot 36, Edward S. Brewer, Robert E. Wallstrom, 1974
The lines are reduced to fit the width of a page and are about 8" / 20 cm long.

Henderson couldn't obtain permission to publish the lines of several boats but was able to obtain sufficient information for Al Mason to prepare a perspective view of the lines from a vantage point off the starboard bow below the waterline. It should be possible to extract most of the lines for those boats from these drawings. Perspectives included are of:
S&S Pilot, Sparkman & Stephens, 1945
Loki, Sparkman & Stephens, 1947
Nevins 40, Sparkman & Stephens, 1954
Bermuda 40, William H. Tripp Jr, 1957
Morgan 30, Charles E. Morgan Jr, 1967
Swan 43, Sparkman & Stephens, 1968
Ranger 26, Gary W. Mull, 1968
Ranger 28, Gary W. Mull, 1973

There are also sail plans and accomodation drawings, and construction drawings or details of several, along with dimensions and Henderson's commentary about each boat.

This book appears to be a good source of information for anyone interested in cruiser and racer/cruiser sailboats from the late 1920's to the early days of the IOR. It's out of print although several sellers on Amazon.com claim to have new copies. I found numerous used copies available on the internet starting at under $10. Even if only one or two of the designs are of particular interest it's still a good deal given the lines drawings.

 

thank you
