Re: Queen Mab!!!
She's a real beaut alright! What are Queen Mab's dimensions and
capacity? She'd look great behind any boat.
capacity? She'd look great behind any boat.
Phil Bolger's design # 638, Queen Mab, specifies full frames and
lapstrake planking. The Queen Mab I built was strip built for minimum
weight and to keep the inside easier to clean. My boat, Just Ducky,
wieghed 28 pounds. The Queen Mab pictured in the files section was
built by Al Straub using frames and lapstrake planking, I think it
weighs about 45 punds but I am not sure, perhaps if Al is viewing the
forum he could give us an update.

Queen Mab uses six frames and a curved transom. The plywood lapstrake
version requires about three sheets of 4mm plywood and one each of 6mm
and 12mm. I suspect that a lot of the plywood winds up as scrap. Not
much more lumber goes into her, and that is mostly for the spars. PCB
designed the single bilgeboard to get the box out from between the
legs of the sailor without spoiling the lines of the boat. The
bilgeboard is to be gotten out of a sheet of 6mm thick aluminum, btw.
For (relative) construction ease one can do as Paul did with the
prototype and strip plank the hull. This would probably be the less
expensive option, as well. I plan on doing the lapstrake version. With
either method, the design begs for good materials and a high quality
finish. Queen Mab is royalty, after all. Besides, at thirty-five
pounds dry weight, there isn't a whole lot to buy, anyway. I figure
that with plywood from Noah's, a Sailrite kit and locally purchased
dimensional lumber, she should run me about US$600, total--plus the
US$100 I've already put out for the plans.

Sorry Dave, I had already looked at the building pictures in the
file about a month ago. I saw the 3003 and I couldn't resist, knowing
that I probably won't even make 2033.
I sent away a subscription to MAIB about a month ago but haven't
received a copy yet. The boat was beautiful before it was completely
finished. Having a boat like that would make it difficult for myself
to put it in water very often. Just the thought of dings and nicks on
such a great looking boat seems criminal.

I don't believe there are frames. The boat is built on molds and then
pulled off. According to the MAIB article in Vol. 19 #20 1 March 02 the
final hull weight should be between 35-45 Lbs.

A beautiful job! Looks very fair. I am not familiar with the plans
of this boat, where do the people go, there seem a lot of frames?
Did you use the Tom Hill (his mentor really) way of lofting and
beveling the planks? Whose idea was the off-center trunk? We were
just talking about that.

Dave,
I built the first Queen Mab and wrote an article about it which was
published in Messing About in Boats. Also, Bolger and Friends mada a
30 minuite video of me and Phil Bolger saining the boat in rhe
Annisquam River at Gloucester Mass. The video is available from
Bolger and Friends. The Queen Mab picture in the July 15, 3003 issue
of MAIB is the boat i built.

Queen Mab would look more plausible on side davits of I30, stern ok as
planned.
