Re: Jessie Cooper
Speaking of festivals, I just found an add for the CWB's Home Built Boats Weekend --- this weekend! Here is the website:
http://cwb.org/home-built-boats-weekend
Looks like lots of great boats already signed up. Tomboy just got accepted -even in her current state-. So if you can, come on by to see her this weekend. I'll take you for a sail. I even think sunshine is forecast!!

I appreciate the nice comments. With the house project coming up, I'm not sure how much time I'll have off during the rest of what remains of this soggiest of summers. I think yesterday we may have made it over 10 days of sunshine ----- for the whole #$%@ year!!! When I get some time I'll try to add more photos to the gallery.

I posted a picture of TOMBOY manuevering off the CWB floats July 3rd, 2011. Sory I don't have any video - I'll get some next time I see her. This is one of a series of pictures of the CWB Festival that will appear on Duckworks in the near future in an article I have submitted. I also have pictures of TOMBOY in the 2009 show alongside the pier should anyone be interested. Very impressive build quality and manueverability! Pete

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the response. I was busy on the foredeck of Adventuress while you were maneuvering out of the lagoon so I didn't take any photographs, but I did observe the Kenmore Air prop wash. You and Tomboy put on a nice demonstration of seamanship in close quarters.
I'll keep my eyes open for Tomboy in my travels--but I usually sail around Portland and Hood River when I'm not volunteer crewing on Adventuress. Will you be over in Port Townsend for the Wooden Boat Festival in September? I'll have my little Bolger nymph Wee Rose there.
Best Regards,
Rick

Hi from Tomboy herself!
I was the one making the passes in front of the CWB on the 3rd of July. It's tons of fun to sail close to stuff and getting in and out of the lagoon by Kenmore Air was exhilarating to say the least. I was hoping someone shot some video of us as we got boosted along by the prop wash from the taxiing planes. Our video camera is on the blink, but I hope to get some footage someday.

Hi All,
With great delight I was able to spend some time yesterday up close to the Jessie Cooper "Tomboy" pictured on the cover of Phil Bolger's Boats with an Open Mind. I volunteer crew aboard the Crowninshield schooner Adventuress, so while we were taking visitors aboard at the Seattle Wooden Boat festival I had a chance to wander over to where Tomboy was tied up at the dock. I also saw her under sail on two different occasions from the shore, and we passed close by in the channel while I was standing bow watch on Adventuress.
I've been fascinated with the design since my son (now 27) was a toddler. I built him a wood block model Jessie Cooper during a visit to my father's woodshop while my mother cooked dinner--just a few cuts with a bandsaw, no carving required. Tinkertoy masts, properly offset to starboard. That boat model is still up in the attic in a box of his old toys.
The Center For Wooden Boats put on a good show, with a number of classy racing yachts and precious little pocket cruisers. I also got to see a Herreshoff Rozinante up close--spent about ten minutes looking her over. But Jessie Cooper was worth much more time...
What a great personality and fascinating boat.

Well, the stretched Brick was rather, ummm, flexible, due to my
inadequate chines/dimensional lumber I used. I used 1/4" luaun &
3/8" reg. ply bottom. Didn't increase the freeboard. It's now quite
a handy bus-stop for my kids. Oh, BTW, it used a REAL cheapie
chinese lugsail. Sailed Okay, but the washboarding alarmed my loved
ones & we needed a bus stop.......

So, do a survey. Be sure to include Michalak, and self design.

Three, almost four in my case: Gypsy, Teal, and a Rubens Nymph. Also
an almost-completed very-highly-modified Cartopper, although it's
only based loosely on Bolger's original design.

I won't even speculate how accurate these numbers are.
But, if they are even close to being accurate, then
the nearly 1000 completed hulls represented by just
these seven designs are real testament to PCB's
success. When you throw in the thousands of instant
boats and all the other more complex one-offs into
this total, the magnitude of his accomplishments are
simply astounding. Nobody else in the the boat design
field even comes close.

Just for fun, it might be neat to know how many Bolger
hulls have been completed by this groups ~750 members.
I'd bet that it is at least 150.

> Anybody know how many AS25/Jessie Cooper's been built?Without stopping to actually count up the ones that have left visible
traces on the web, I would estimate the world-wide population of
AS29's in the one to two dozen range, and of Jessie Cooper's in the
half to one dozen range. Total Loose Mooses is at about 5 built.
These are just impressions based on the number that have been
publicized plus a factor for un-publicized ones. My guesses are more
likely too low rather than too high.
Just to stimulate conversation, I would offer the following order of
magnitude estimates of completed boats for some of the other designs:
Black Skimmmer - 100
Martha Jane - 200
Black Gauntlet - 10
Micro - 250
Long Micro - 10
Chebacco (all versions) - 50
Folding Schooner - 250

Anybody know how many AS25/Jessie Cooper's been built? What are they
like - I saw Chuck Merrell's website today and found the JC.
Interesting design scenario.
