reply, he told me that it pounded quite a bit at speed and that he
had since sold it. "Super Bee" is not a separate Bolger design, but
this fellow's own modification. He didn't remember how he enlarged

Pictures of these are pretty rare.
You can see the shape pretty well from sample files in GC's Hull Designer.
Have that? If not,

I'll send you some screen shots.

Has anyone got any information and / or pictures of Bolger's "Bee"
or "Super Bee" Box Cutwater Outboard powered Dinghy.I've seen some
very blurry scans of the Bee prototype and a "Super Bee".I'm not
sure if the "Super Bee" is an actual design or someone's
enlargement/stretched out version of the original "Bee" design
or "Super Bee" Box Cutwater Outboard powered Dinghy.I've seen some
