Re: AS19?
Hi Chuck, nice to hear from you. How are you doing?
I like very much Reuel Parker's designs (the Terrapin 21 is
beautiful, and the Terrapin 34 is superb) but they look a bit too
much work to build. In that kind of boats I also considered B&B's
Core Sound 20, which is similar to the Ohio Sharpie. On different
tastes, another interesting boat is Michalak's AF2. Maybe there are
too many available options around...
Anyway, the AS19 is still leading my own competition at this moment.
The way is looks is a bit particular, but than all square boats look
more or less that way. If I had to base my decision on looks only,
then I'd go for Oughtred's Eun Na Mara, or for an even more classic
boat (like the ones in the Wooden Boat store)...

Pippo,
Have you looked at the 19' Small Ohio Sharpie, found in Ruel Parker's, "The
Sharpie Book." Parker himself built one of these amoung the many boats he
has built and said, "I Found the boat to be quite fast and weatherly, and as
perfectly balanced as any I have ever sailed." She will carry a thousand
pounds of weight. He metions that she still sails well with 7 or 8 people.
A removable Dog house could be made to make a small camp cruiser. He claims
that the boat is very simple to build, but pehaps he is not comparing these
boats to Bolger boxes. It is very pleasing to the eye. There are several
options for the rig. The sprit rigged cat ketch looks just awesome, with the
added feature of being able to move one of the masts rearward converting it
to something of a sloop. I guess this would need to be done at shore, but
would allow sailing in heavy winds still perfectly balanced and safe. The
LOA is 19' 5.5", beam is 5' 8", and the draft is 6.75". Just a beautiful
small boat, that seems to fit what you are looking for. If you are
interested I could try and scan in a couple of the relevevant pages from the
book. I trust that this wouldn't violate any copyrights, at least not
significantly.

Folks, first of all thanks a lot for your great support and
suggestions. To summarize it all, my "revised requirements" are
exactly the same as before (which eventually led me to choose a
Micro), but with the added requirement of shoal draft and possibility
of beaching on a sandy shore. "Boatyard" requirements are 20' maximum
lenght, and less than 2 m (6'8") maximum beam, otherwise I couldn't
use my garage to build.
Now, the AS19 seems to fit the bill nicely. A fierce opponent is the
NIS 18' by Bruce Kirby, which however sports a quite complex rig (the
specs call for a carbon fiber mast and a fully battened main), a
complex centerboard arrangement, and a quite elaborated cabin design.
The Tiki 21 is ok, but looks more complex and fiddly to set up.
I've one question for those who have seen or know more about the
AS19: how many people could the boat take aboard for daysailing
without being too cramped? Is the cockpit comfortable?
Best, Pippo
