Our Will Sofrin, class of 2001, has recently completed his work on his NY-30 plan. Will has been using original design data of the boats owned by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to create construction plans for two dozen of Herreshoff's most heralded yacht designs.

Will has managed to decipher tables of boat measurements left with a museum at MIT, which Herreshoff attended, and use the numbers, to create mathematically accurate ink drawings, including of seven yachts designed specifically for the America's Cup.

Will's original drawings will be added to the Hart Nautical Collections at the MIT Museum, which owns the copyright on Herreshoff's design data and received a majority of his design records following his death. He is also making copies available for sale.
