I'm trying to find any and all information about John Hanna's "Foam", the remake of Slocum's "Spray".
I especially want the construction prints. I have Weston Farmer's "From My Old Boat Shop" with the article about the "Foam".
PLEASE HELP!! Can you even just steer me in the right direction?

Hi Jerry
From:
http://www.mcallen.lib.tx.us/books/circumna/ci_11.htm
"Of the many copies of the Spray, John Hanna's version, Foam II, probably comes closest to being the best. The plans for this and other Hanna dream boats are still available at this writing from his widow, Dorothy, at 636 Wilkie Street, Dunedin, Florida 33528."
From Google -- rec.boats.building:
"As an aside, Jack Hanna was enamored of Spray (and the Andrade lines/analysis) and did some designs closely based on these lines. You can find brief discussion about this work and lines for Hanna's Foam in John Doherty's book "A Ketch Called Tahiti: John G. Hanna and His Yacht
Designs".
Hope this helps.
