Peter,

Yup,it's in the Folding Schooner,pg 91,design number 217.
The boats dimensions are given as,39',6" X 19'6". He confesses to
never having sailed a proa(at that time) and appears to defer to Dick
Newick regarding much about proas.

Sincerely,

the other Peter
There is a proa design in one of PCB's first two books. I'm pretty
sure it was in The Folding Schooner. I don't know that one was ever
built, and I think that PCB has has a lot of different ideas about
proa foils and rigs since. It was pretty long, but without looking it
up, I can't say how big.

Nope, there's a second Bolger proa in the 40-ft range. I'm quite familiar
with the "cartoon proa".

No thats a 20 footer. I have been looking at Jim Antrim and Joseph
Oster designs Really nice but at 70' just two big. I have seen a
sketch, I think it was John Harris's 30 footer really nice kind of a
more stream lined J-zero. Where can I get more info on this proa. I
was also curious as to what Mr. Bolger might have had up his sleeve.

Isn't it in Boats With an Open Mind? I suspect it would be expensive to
build and not necessarily work very well. According to what I recall itwas
never built.

Wanna nice proa, talk to John Harris.

Has anyone seen or heard of the Bolger 40' proa? I would love to see
a drawing of it if it exists!?

P.S. AWSOME boat shed.... wish I had the space to buid a boat shed.
Although I'd probably get taxed if it even resemble a boat.
