"See two sets of penciled pantograph hull sections (one crossed-out) on 'Herreshoff Manufacturing Company, Bristol, R.I.' stationery in the Halsey C. Herreshoff Collection at the Herreshoff Marine Museum. Titled 'June 26, 1929. Model [Model 1126] for 18ft sqrt(Sail) Class Sail Measurement Rule. Scale 3/4. 25ft 8in w.l.'. The first set of sections marked '1st trial' and with calculations arriving at a displacement of 94.2cuft = 6020lbs. The second set of sections is crossed out, marked 'Not sandpaperered' and with calculations arriving at a displacement of 92cuft = 5880lbs. With note 'Estimate of weights. See over'. On verso a tabulated weight study titled 'Estimate of w[ei]g[h]ts for June 26 design on other side' arriving at a total weight of 5880lbs." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. April 25, 2019.)
