I love what a real artist/architect can do. When I redrew some of the accommodation of the LFH Golden Ball, I felt that The Master had sacrificed both beauty and strength for pass-through convenience by having the cabin trunk go past the main mast and onto the foredeck. That also meant that the fore hatch was off-center, which I am against.

So I drew what I thought were nice lines, ending the trunk a foot abaft the mast, making the hatch profile harmonize with the shear but a smidge lower, and having the deck shape follow the gunnel curves.

Sent them off to Michael Mason for the real work and he applied his artist eye. Worth every penny convert a niceish box into something organically right.

Anyway, very nice drawings. Feel free to enable our dreaming with more. Even stuff that is more evocative, more what Bolger called a cartoon in the fifteenth century sense. You are unlikely to draw a commission out of us old skinflints, but you will cause dreams and conversation.

Peter,
At first I thought that was Edward Burgess's PURITAN the winner of the American cup 5th Challenger 1885. I see it was scraped in 1925 while John Alder PURITAN was built in1929. I couldn't see the bow in the photo.

Ian,
I have always been intrigued with LFH Golden Ball and yes it always looked a little like a odd duck to me but that would be a personal opinion. The changes you described seem to be easy on the eyes but I have only study the drawings, construction plans and description in the (Sensible Cruising Designs) by LF Herreshoff.
I have seen some of the design work Michael Mason did on NIÑITA a reproduction of Starling Burgess's staysail schooner NIÑA. Michael is a master at his trade.Olin Stephens once called NIÑA the only yacht that looked great from any angle.
