I hate the look of Bolger external chine logs.
But since I liberated my stolen Elegant Punt, I love them! Bloody
Bolger is ahead every time.
In my very limited, allocated garage space, I have been able to
reach about, grip and twirl the punt around and about, like a robot
on a car assembly line.
This compares with my own smooth dinghy, which is like trying to
flip a greased pig....no external chine logs.
Peter, I'm uncertain as to whether Windermere has external chine
logs, but they could be the answer to your flipping problems!
All you need is arm extensions.

Thanks for the illumination Peter. Now if you want to have a
memorable turn over or turn up party, get in some kegs of Aussie
FOSTERS, and stand back!
As to Oink, my outboard is getting serviced; my punt is fully
renovated; my mooring contractor is trawling for my mooring weights
which he stored 'safely' somewhere in the briney until I needed it
(I guess he forgot in the nearly 2 years).
Sailing/launching photos are not being held back for want of trying.
Wife gets back from Asia on thursday...I dearly wanted to have an
empty driveway when she got back.
I love your Inuit longhouse.
Soon,

DonB,
I don't think you "grasp" the problem.
HeeHeeHee.
But if Windemere were a punt, you'd be right.

I hate the look of Bolger external chine logs.
But since I liberated my stolen Elegant Punt, I love them! Bloody
Bolger is ahead every time.
In my very limited, allocated garage space, I have been able to
reach about, grip and twirl the punt around and about, like a robot
on a car assembly line.
This compares with my own smooth dinghy, which is like trying to
flip a greased pig....no external chine logs.
Peter, I'm uncertain as to whether Windermere has external chine
logs, but they could be the answer to your flipping problems!
All you need is arm extensions.
