Herreshoff Sailing Vessel Classes / Re: New S Class Book....?

I've been in contact with Ken Upham who did the '94 version. We've been sending info back and forth and he says that he is constantly updating the project. So, while I don't think he has a definite plan to republish, he seems to be working in that direction. We'll see.

To my understanding, it is a syndicate thing. The owner cant afford/ doesn't want to pony up the cash for her restoration; so, he has given part ownership to a local shipwright named Eric who is restoring her in his spare time in exchange for a portion of profits when she is sold. Some of this is, of course hearsay; but,I do know that Eric is by far the most knowledgeable shipwright on the island, so she is in good hands.

Any word on whether or not the "History and Register of the S Class" was republished? I was trying to get my hands on the '94 version, but may seek out the new edition if it is available.

Wizard of Bristol- NY40 is on the hard at the Phoenician boat yard, Barbor's Point, Oahu, Hawaii. She has been slowly undergoing restoration for several years.
