Re: [bolger] Re: liveaboards
Hi Nels,
Thanks again. No, I don't remember but it was about a year, year and a
half before that outfit from Atlanta bought the SBJ.
Best to you, boblynnfrboblynn@...

Do you know which issue of SBJ the design was in? I don't blame you
for not wanting to cut a hole in the bottom:-) I would be tempted to
finish it the way it is and take it out rowing. Small dorys don't
make very good sailers anyway.
If you are not familiar with yahoo - you will notice a box to the
left of the postings with different choices and are underlined. Any
that are in blue can be clicked on to go to that particular area. Try
the files and photos first.
I would also suggest that you get yourself a Christmas present - A
book called "Boats With An Open Mind". This book contains a lot of
useful information about design in general and various boats.
Also if you go to this site you will see a couple of books about
building using plywood that are the basic courses all of us have
taken at one time or another. It also has information about several
of the designs of Philip Bolger who is our esteemed guru:-)

Nels,
Thanks for the sites. I will save your note and make use of it right
away as well.
I am new to the list and don't know how to make use of it. I am sure I'll
learn.
I don't know which design I would be most interested in building. I
have little
experience in boatbuilding or carpentry for that matter. In my basement
there is a
hull for the little dory that was in Small Boat Journal that could be built
in four hours for next to nothing. So far it has been in progress since
shortly after the article appeared and has cost me about $200. It has wonderful
lines and is either
row or sail. I have been reluctant to cut a hole in the sole for the dagger
(?) board,
and my fiberglassing has a lot of sanding yet to be done. But my son and I
have had
some great times working on it and dreaming about sailing it. I am sure that
we will
finish it within the year and that the experience will aid in my own skill
development
so I can build a larger boat. I'm retired now and have more time to devote
to boatbuilding and making dreams come to reality.
Thanks again for you help. I would appreciate any suggestions as to
which of these boats I should be considering. I am definitely interested in
building a sailboat,
like the pilothouse idea, and something like a skipjack, Friendship Sloop
with gaff rigging, or something along those lines. A Hunter 27 was not big
enough for me and
my two cats and woman to liveaboard. Plus, I couldn't trailer it, nor sail
in many places I would want to go.
Best wishes and seasons greeting to you too.

Hi Bob,
Unfortunately there is no ONE source. You can look through the
photos, files and links here and then proceed to bolger2 and bolger3
and see the things there as well.
What type of boat are you interested in? A liveaboard? Sail or power?
You might also do a search with the name of the design preceeded by
the word Bolger. This site has lots of links but many are dead now
too:-(

Hey all you sailors,
Is there a site online where I can see pictures of all these boats?
Please inform me of the url if there is one.
