Re: Surf (Crab Skiff) or Zephyr?

It might depend on whether you sail alone or with crew. A friend
built a Zepher, and we had some nice sails together, but he felt for
single-handed sailing he should have built Surf.

John,
I am also planning to build a Surf - or a Zephyr? Hard decision!

Let us know about your progress!

Whoops... I checked the Files section before posting but somehow
missed 'Surfs Up'. Must be 'oldtimer's disease' again. Thanks.

John: When I looked a few months ago, I couldn't find anything other
than the files mentioned above. Keep in mind, though, that the
construction of Surf is very similar to a number of other boats
(Teal, Windsprint, etc.).

The following page has an extension collection of links to Bolger
boats, many of which include construction info:

Check out "Surfs Up" in the files section on the bolger site.

As mentioned earlier, I have plans from Payson for the Surf/Crab
Skiff and hope to begin building by early July as a birthday present
to myself. Wanting to pick up tips from those those who have gone
before, I've just searched our Group's Files and the Web (through
Google) for any sites with pertinent information. No success.
Payson's Web site has links for other boats but not for Surf, it
seems. Anybody got any Surf sites bookmarked?
