I agree that this book is rare. I found my copy on the
Advanced Book Exchange rare/out of print book search engine
athttp://www.abebooks.com/though at this moment there is
not a copy available. Keep checking, or better yet add it
to your want list and they will email you when one shows up.

Also, most any librarian, worth their salt, can get a copy
through "interlibrary loan" if you ask nicely [and sometime
pay a fee to cover shipping].

This is the hardest of all of Bolger's books to find, I had a search out
on it for 6 months with several on line bookstores. I think Armchair
Sailor finally came up with it for around $40 which I considered a
bargain.

You can start going through the book dealers listed in The Mother of All
Maritime Links

http://www.boat-links.com/boatlink.html

which is how I eventually made my successful contact.

Where would be the best place to start looking for a copy of Bolger's
"Different Boats"? Does anyone want to sell their copy?

Storm Petral is written up in Bolger's "Different Boats."

She is 16'4", x 5'2". Basically a flat bottom skiff with deck and
cuddy. Sail is 81 sq st lateen. Keel is 3/4" steel plate weighing
about 170 lbs. (I bet PCB would design a Micro-type keel nowadays.)

He shows a 6hp ob.
