VPP Reference

Where can I find and purchase a copy of the paper:
"A Velocity Prediction Program for Ocean Racing Yachts" by Justin E. Kerwin
Have done a Google but can only find other papers that have used it as a reference.

It is in a SNAME puplication. Proceedings of the New England Sailing Yacht Symposium, SNAME, New York, 1976.

Just understand that there are many, many "Velocity Prediction Programs", and that "the VPP" used by IMS may be different.
