Re: [bolger] Bolger boats in fiberglass: Dovekie and [?]
Forgot to mention that there will be a minimum of two Shearwaters and two
Dovekies, and a Martha Jane on our "Magnum Opus" (Peter Duff's words for
our two week summer cruise) in the North Channel in a few weeks... so if
you can make it...

If I recall the conversation correctly, Ruben also felt that the boat
needed to be wider. PCB disagreed, and that was apparently that.
I was the happy owner of a customized Marsh Hen from Ruben's Florida Bay
Boats company for many years, and still can't believe I was so
unutterably stupid as to sell her.

Welcome to what Phil and Suzanna (Bolger) call "the cult" (of Dovekie
owners). I hope whoever you bought your Dovekie from gave you the info
about our newsletter called The Shallow Water Sailor published by Kenneth
Murphy (Kgmurphy@...). Also, see the site:
http://www.trailersailor.com/sws/.We have a two week cruise in the
North Channel of Georgean Bay coming up in a few weeks... There's quite
a few Dovekies in your area, where many of us meet for an annual Spring
Cruise. Let me know if you need anything.Leoandsandy@...

cat-yawl).
There was a catboat of about 16' that got to the prototype stage. A
cat yawl of about 25' for Ruben Trane got to prototype.
In one of the early books, there is a yacht tender that, I think,
went into production.
PCB designed several larger powerboats that were production boats for
Egg Harbor, among others, but I don't know if any were done in

The Wolf Trap 30 was supposed to be a production aluminum boat. I
think three were built.

Edey & Duff also promoted a 1400 pound, 5" draft 'Shearwater' about 1985, Dovkie's big sister.

I bought a Dovekie over the weekend, having been seduced by
the thought of pottering around the fringes of the Chesapeake in
a cruising sailboat with a four-inch draft.
Now I'm curious: are there any other Bolger designs that were
manufactured and sold in fiberglass? I've read Small Boats, the
Folding Schooner, and BWAOM, and nothing comes to mind.
