Re: [bolger] Digest Number 711 - Diablo
Don,
I pretty sure I have the articles, and a set of plans.
Of more import might be Phil's comment to me about a modification I was
contemplating. My wife gets a bit nervous on our sailboat so I had been
looking at designs to build a small 'Lobster Boat' type for her. The
hull form of Diablo looked promising but I wanted to get designer's
opinion about stability with tophamper. His recommendation was NOT to do
it on Diablo (the same would go for people standing at a center console)
but could be done on Diablo GRANDE.
