William Hand designs

[G & T]

Anyone know of a source for William Hand designs? I am interested in a fuel efficient 24 - 26 footer that will cruise at around 20 knots.

Our Sponser has a monograph on Hand designs which if memory serves are held bye MIT.

Dave Fleming is correct ("as usual," per some other thread ;) ). You can also find a (partial) list of his designs at the following link, William Hand Designs-"Rudder" magazine (http://www.mysticseaport.org/research/ru_rudder_designer.cfm?mlet=H), which is to the Mystic Seaport's index of the "Rudder" magazine. More specifically, the link is for designers with names starting with 'H.'

And, as said, the designs are at MIT in the Hart Nauticat Collection. Contact Kurt Hesselbalch at kurt@mit.edu.
