Re: Small Boat Journal Cartoon #9
In his write-up, Phil qualifies the potential of this boat less than he often does. There
is enough info in the article to build it. Cut up some cardboard to get the bow angle
approximately right.

Why not add a similar cabin to a Sneakeasy hull? A proven hull, cheap
plans (from Payson) and a sleeker, silkier look to boot. Ya' can't
lose.

THis leaves two obvious questions:
1. Did he say why he said no? Is there something wrong with the
design?
2. What are you building instead?

what I wanted. He said no--in no uncertain terms, although politely.
I could build almost exactly this boat with the cartoon alone, with just a
couple of dimensions from him (stem angle, angle of transom, etc.). He
wouldn't provide it.
I'm building something else (very slowly), for the same purpose.

I have data convincingly disconfirming the Duhem-Quine hypothesis.
That's a nice proposal.
For a purely summer boat, the shelter could also be left off entirely. You'd have a
decent, 23' boat squeezed out from just six sheets of plywood.

I like the looks too. I wonder if you could put a "slot top" on it like the
Birdwatcher. You could then walk her length with out stooping down but
still close it off to weather.

bunch of inland lakes and canals.
I just was re-reading the PCB Cartoon #9,
_A Flat-Bottomed Outboard Cruiser_
from SBJ#33 in 1983. An enjoyable read, for
the rambling 'wear-your-thought-process-
on-your-sleeve' PCB stream-of-conscience
writing style.
The PCB commentary on this boat,
a 23'9" sharpie, seems to reveal
a lot of his thinking that went
into Tennesee, Sneakeasy et.al.

The PCB commentary on this boat,
a 23'9" sharpie, seems to reveal
