out of print Bolger Book, _Folding Schooner_.
29'10" x 13'11", planking on steam bent frames,
inboard diesel motor powered. Looks to me like
a very nice live-a-board boat. 10 tons displacement.
"...seaworthy enough to go coastwise and between with an easy mind
about whatever might blow up in the way of wind or sea..." "When the
boat plans were done we rejoiced at having put fifty-footer
accomodations in a thirty-foot hull, but when the bids came in to
builder her we were reminded that you don't get a fifty-pound package
down to thirty pounds by rolling it up tightly." [The person who
commissioned the design] "...hesitated...I think he must have
concluded that bigger vessels were safer bets."

The best thing would be to send a fax to Phil Bolger himself and ask
him. I think it was written up in "Different Boats" but that book is
out of print too. There is a Norwegian in Oslo, Bjorn Harbo who might
help you make enquiries as he has contacted Phil on several
occasions, and has built at least one Bolger design. His email
address in in the files here.
I saw lots of nice boats for sale when I was in Norway last summer:-)
