Send me your email address, and I'll send you the (very large)
original resolution scans.

They're in Bolger3's Photos section.

Show up at Kingston some year, and you'll get to see two of them match
racing. (From aboard one, if you'd like.)

We're eagerly awaiting the plans. PCB&F haven't finished them yet.

I thought some anonymity might be in order here lest my name be
brought up on some sort of list that projects timetables have
changed. The names were changed to protect the innocent. Lord
only knows that I am so behind in my boatbuilding I figure it might
lengthen my life to complete my started projects. Just a thought, I
think it could work..

More correctly,that should read,"some working David or Susan who
loves going.......":-D

I looked at the Insolent 60 drawings in Bolger3, but they were rather
low resolution and I couldn't figure out how to get the larger files.
Does anyone have more detailed preliminary drawings? I'm particularly
interested in the keel since I did the prototype swing wing on my
boat and am curious about improvements that might have been made.

I thought there were drawings of this boat in the files section at
one time? I guess this is my semi yearly post about the Insolent
60 and those set on building it. I really would like to see one of
these ply the waters of some race course to confirm how fast it
really might be.

It is easy to be branded a Bolgerista when I bring up the light
schooner and people tell me how much faster a fifty thousand dollar
Australian skiff can bet them by. I always add if the light
schooner had all the carbon fiber and high tech sails rather than
being built in a second story apartment for less than $600.00 there
would be competition.

The yachtsy totsy high tech sailors hate what Bolger stands for and
what he deigns because I can afford to be out on the water shooting
pellet guns at their race markers ( not really but the thought has
crossed my mind more than once). I am just glad I can build a boat
these days when getting into anything over 20' down at the marina
will cost a second mortgage and probably a divorce before the dust
settles.

Well le me know when I can see real images of an Insolent 60 being
assembled by some working Joe or Josephine who loves going out on
the water as much as I do!

No plans yet, but PCB&F sounded pretty close in their last letter
a month or so ago. The sail plan is supposedly pretty close to
final, and the rudder is no longer stern-hanging, which makes the
boat look like a scaled-up His and Her Schooner. (Which I'm hoping
to have in the water by the time the plans arrive.)

If anyone were inclined to post either the drawing or the essay of
the giant folding schooner to our files, I'd be very thankful.
