>> I can't think of a Bolger design that I've seen that answers to the
brief of a conventional, good looking pocket cruiser with sloop rig,
but there probably is one, somewhere.

accomodation which he calls a cat but which has a very small jib. And
two Friendship sloops Monhegan (18')

These two certainly answer, including the pocket bit... I'd forgotten about them, pretty largely because it's been a few years since I read the books these two appeared in. I think there's one copy of each of Bolger's in the national library.

>There were a number of sloops among the "cartoons" that he published
in Small Boat Journal, but the only one that comes to mind in this
context is the flush-deck sloop redesign of the Folkboat.

Now there's a thought... I hadn't heard of that one at all.
