Re: [bolger] Re: Live-a-board for one. SBJ cartoon #18
I think it's technically a solent lug. I don't think I'd build it as drawn
however. It seems a tabernacle would be a better solution for a quickly
struck rig.

that acknowleges that it is not a standard anything. If I were a
singlehander, the last thing I would want would be that long yard. It
looks to me like one of PCB's wild ideas.

could sit in it all day doing nothing, thinkng, reading a book and
listening to the rain.

The Bolger Boxes, [AS-19 is an extreme example], amount to less than
1/3 or 1/4 of his total number of designs I guess.
I want to build an AS-19 too.

There is a completed design, Merlin, formerly the Marina Cruiser,
that is a very similar hull and rig. The arranagement is more for a
day boat, however.
Bolger wrote an essay suggesting that the 22' Leeboard Catboat would
suffice as a home for one. And of course there are Jesse Cooper, The
Newfoundlander, Palo de Agua, etc.

Seems to me well under half is square, and less ugly. Show them Spur 2
and HMS Rose for some idea of his range. THen there's Kotik,
Gloucester Gull, a bunch of sportfishermen in many sizes, a bunch of
pretty outboard skiffs, a bunch (dozens?) of traditional gaff sailing
types, and on and on and on.

Both Bruces,
Thank you for posting proof that bolger builds more than just square
boats. In other forum I have seen an undercurrent of Bolger haters
who regurgitate the same mantra endlessly about Bolger only designs
square ugly boats. I with I could build and own all his designs but
he is much to prolific to attempt that. I will try my own pace.

Yes, very nice. You could almost do this in a Micro's dimensions by
eliminating the bow and stern wells. Of course you'd have to move the
rudder, but the rig is very similar. Perhap's it would fit better
into a Long Micro's hole in the water.

PCB: "a minimum boat suitable for a
single person to live aboard without
having to relearn barbarian techniques
and attitudes."
Once again, another boat I want!
Small Boat Journal Cartoon #18
Was this cartoon developed into
a full design? Seems like one
could actually build the thing
from the lines shown in the
cartoon.
Sorry about the size of the
images, if they are made
much smaller, you can't
read them.
