Lofting is a dark art, for us it starts with translating scans of the hand written table of offsets written by NGH in 1928. For the most part this isn’t too hard, any anything that looks “off” we can fair in when we draw it. HOWEVER, the transom page is nearly illegible and the voodoo that they do isn’t giving us a curve that is even remotely fair. Thankfully the boat is readable so we will be pulling the lines tomorrow morning
