I'd have thought 3/8" would be heavy enough for the sides, with
double that on the bottom. Jessie Cooper, 25' x 7'6" and with three
times the AS19's displacement uses 1/2" ply for the sides, but with
3/4" (finished) timber cross-planks on the bottom. A lot depends of
course on the way the ply is backed with framing. As there is no
keel, the bottom has to be thick to provide the strength that a keel
normally provides, and maybe 3/4" is a bit light.
But that's just my idea. PCB doesn't make a habit of specifying
heavier construction than necessary. There is a page on this design
in Bernie Wolfard's Common Sense Design Book, where it says it's
made from "1/2" ply (alternate 1/3 or 1/4 ply)". Quarter-inch seems
a bit light.

Hi -
The ballast in mine consisted of a bout 6 bars of lead so that you don't have to handle a
big bunch at once.
While I'm thinking about it, you might want to add a tabernacle of sorts for the mast - it
was all I could do to lift it straight up all the time.
FWIW - the dog house seemed big enough to me from inside - but I'm only 5'7" or so.
There was room to sit on the porta pottie inside the doghouse.
If you really want a roomy house, go straight to the cruising Micro.
Mike

Though the sail rigs are quite different, I agree the
hulls are very similar.
After beating the virtual bushes for the last couple
of weeks, I'm still trying to come up with a source
for AS19 plans. Does anyone know where I can get plans
for this boat? Also, as far as I can tell, only one of
them has ever been built, does anyone know where it
is, or if there are others stashed anyplace.
Best regards,

If you send a fax to Bolger asking about the price for the plans,
they will probably fax you back a copy of this article.
Bruce,
I wasn't aware of the ballast, but am not surprised,
considering its reputed capability. I think I'll at
least go the next step and order up some plans. Was
more info on the AS19 published somewhere? The only
info I seem to be able to find on it are some pics and
an essay on the net.

Phil

You are aware that it has a pretty big chunk of lead as ballast, right?
Manhandling a 500 pound slug of lead up and over the
sides and down into the bilge and down into the hull seems tricky to me.
I quess with some kind of winch it would be easy.
I also have thought that the doghouse could be enlarged a bit and would
turn the AS19 into a nice pocket cruiser.

Hi All,
I've built a bunch of kayaks, but am now ready to take
the leap to something that I can't lift onto the roof
rack by myself. After dithering over whether I want to
put up with the expense and aggravation of sails or

boat is usually near where the weather chine comes out of the water.
That would be the heel angle for fastest sailing.
As always, I am engaged in serial boat building dreams. Most
recently, I detailed and built a crude model of AS19. I count that
it takes 30 sheets of 1/2" plywood. What an intriguing boat! I
wonder just how fast it sails? I imagine painting the topside in
normal 'nautical' color scheme, and bottom in some wild 'graffiti
art' visible only when heeled over. AS19, like Pointer needs to heel
over very far to sail fast I think, as if the boxy scoop bow isn't
offensive enough :). I wonder if the 500 pound cast lead keel could
be switched with a scrap steel cast in place concrete slab ballast, I
think yes. I bet the whole boat could be had for less than $1,000.
