Nope - that is a different boat.

Does anyone know whether the updates as listed from the article in MAIB
constitute the substance of the rumoured 'AS31'? I'm probably too literal,
but I'd been expecting something, well, longer.

Sorry guys,
I should have resisted the impulse to comment. I'm only a visitor
here and not one of the faithful.

Tom,
What would you propose as a "decent bow shape" for a newly
constructed AS-29? I'm just curious,
porky

Boldger goes out of his way to make fixes or changes for extant
designs so that you can retro-fit if you already made the boat.
The navigator option for a micro is another example. It would have
been an easier/better way to do it on new construction, but the way
it is done makes it possible for the current micro owners to
participate in the new design.

I put a scan in Photos in an album called AS-29 pics. Since more than
half the plywood is underwater, it supports it's own weight.
Actually, according to the text, it adds a little buoyancy under the
bow.

Hello
I don't have access to MAIB. I am curious as to how the rounded
bottom at the bow is achieved. Is it a rounded bottom, or a V shape,
or what? How is it to be constructed? Is it something that can be
retrofitted on existing boats, or is it a real change in the bow
design?
Thanks,
Daniel Pike

>Can you tell me how/where the mainsheet traveller has been moved?Quoting:
Deckhouse height grew from 7" to 8" as a consequence of the
appearance of that tall forward hatch (over the head) in the
argueable interest to till arrive at a acceptable profile of her
overall. ...
Mainsail traveler was relocated to the upper forward edge of the
deckhouse, opening up the cockpit some in way of the bridge deck at
least when in port, with various options to run the sheet aft over or
around the house. Traveler here is assumed to the the usual aluminium
extrusion type such as Harken, since this will allow positive
traveler-car control for hard-in sheeting while offering a good
amount of desirable boom vanging, one of very few pieces of
seriously "yachty" hardware aboard her.
Rig has remained untouched except for moving the mainsail upwards by
about a foot in order to clear deck-hatch and house alterations
below, and to allow replacing the goosneck assembly on the
tablernacle's backside with a likely cheaper and stronger boomjaw
geometry controlled by shackeled parrel and downhaul. Lazyjacks and
topping lifts will continue to work as initially drawn. Make that
boom downhaul longer, run it along the deck edge all the way aft for
immediate control from the cockpit as you'll be able, for instance,
to raise the boom higher without sail shape distortion from the
topping lift, when moving with a reef in and amongst short seas out
of the wrong quarter where the boom might dip.
End of quotation.
Comment: The Bolger books have very few run-on sentences. German, on
the other hand, has a way of stringing things together. (So I
understand. I don't know a word of it.) The books also contain
surprising little of the kind of detail-by-detail description. I
suspect that Susan is doing a lot of the writing these days.

Paul,
I'm currently refurbishing the sail-handling gear on my AS 29; can
you tell me how/where the mainsheet traveller has been moved? I
dropped all my subscriptions- including MAIB- when I moved aboard...

Can you give a brief description of the changes Boldger made in the

one last night, didn't check the date, but it's the third or fourth I've
gotten since coming back home from my travels in early January, which seems

Boats. My November issues only arrived at Christmas, Dec. & Jan.
haven't yet made it through. Could be slow international mails or,
