Here is some of yesteryear's news, any idea what boat he is refering
to?
The most exhaustive discussion of innovative design came, not
surprisingly, from Phil Bolger and Suzanne Altenberger. With Phil's
discomfort with extemporaneous discussion ("I like to have time to
properly organize my thinking") it was Suzanne who did most of the
talking, she has no problem with that. Her presentation on the
blackboard of how their concept of the Chinese Gaff rig worked was
very effective. The Bolger team pressed all day their views that
simplifying design encourages building. That their simplified, and
often not aesthetically pleasing to conventional views designs, are
unlikely to attract potential builders to produce them in large
numbers was moot.
At one point the panelists were asked to tell us all what each would
own for their very own boat given any choice.
Olin Stephens allowed that in view of his age and location of his
home a Sunfish would be best for him.
Keith Burgess opted for a Polynesian multilmll. He's got one under
construction of his own (with Dick Newicks' inputs) planned for a
crab claw sail rig.
Both Steve Clark and Ted Van Dusen chose the International 10 square
meter sailing canoe, Steve additionally expressing his own interest
in the Freedom concept for a larger sailing yacht.
Doug Martin would like to have a boat weighing no more than 60lbs
that a family of four could take out of a bag and go sailing. Perhaps
he'll design one.
Phil and Suzanne opted for a trailerable, shallow draft 25' schooner
rigged design, with water ballast if any was deemed desirable.
Dick Newick would like to have three boats, all the same, his own 23'
Tremolino trimaran design. One would be at his home in Kittery Point,
Maine. A second would be somewhere on San Francisco Bay. The third he
would keep on the Gulf of California
to?
