Bolger sailing canoe(s)?
A boatbuilder named Rich Cullison has posted a lovely photo of a
Bolger sailing canoe called "Wisp":

Anyone out there know more about the design? Any experience sailing
one? And which book is it in? (Links to Craig O'Donnel's list of
"boats in Bolger books" aren't working.)
Incidentally, I recently bought a set of plans for John Bull's
"Peterboat," a 16-foot stitch-and-glue sailing canoe. (Available from
Lost in the Woods Boatworks in Canada and Solway Dory in England.)
To my surprise, the design is essentially a stretched version of the
13-foot "Payson Pirogue" in BWAOM (Payson calls it a "canoe"), with
deck and sailing rig added. The dimensions of the panels are slightly
different (an eighth inch wider here, a quarter inch wider there), but
the hull is essentially the same. Anyone know how this came to pass?
