Re: [bolger] MAIB Vol 22 - #11 Oct 15, 2004 BOLGER DESIGN #639 -- JOCHEMS SCHOONER
Hi John,
As announced I will post a note about my experiences with WDJ. Anyway: I
can confirm the statement that schooners don't point high. I never
meassured that in my boat (was never an issue for me). If I were forced
to guess: far more than 100 deg. But who cares? What do I have a 15 HP
outboard for? More to come.

man. But building something with any serious accommodation like the ones
that take tourists out up New England way just seemed expensively and
experience wise beyond me.
interior accommodation, and an interior that offers the ladies an enclosed
head (even if it is with a curtain, it doesn't interfere with the
accommodations, 4 berths and a complete gally area all inside and very
accessable. Well I know where my plans money is going and I've already
sent for the video.
