What a delight to see Weston Farmer's older work still in circulation! As you can see by his sketch, he had as much a respect for the traditions he built on as he did the whimsical and the sentimental side of the art. I was introduced to his work by an article on his 12' steam launch Feeble, designed in the old New England tradition of boy's boats, as "an exercise in the serious importance of doing something for the hell of it." This was published in the now largely forgotten periodical Steam Boats and Modern Steam Launches, back in the '60s. The last of his work I saw published was a 12' motor launch, Irreducible, accompanying a Wooden Boat magazine article on the elements of small boat design.
Needless to say, his work had a great deal of influence on me, particularly with respect the the motivation necessary to undertake unusual projects. I heartily recommend his work to any of you with more than a passing interest in small craft of the earlier hald of the last century. -Phil
