J Boat Whirlwind project

I have been working on a project for a few years, not everyday but always keeping my ears open and when ever I find new info I like to add it to the file. My goal is to find as much info about the great J Class yacht Whirlwind built by Landon Thorne my great grandfather. I recently went to a J Class lecture hosted by Sail Newport, I was hoping the lecture would be about the history of the class and the boats built in the USA. But it was about current J Class boats and what it was like to sail them. I had the pleasure of talking to David Pittman and was supprised to find that the official J Class had all the drawings and good info about all the boats except Whirlwind.
