Great article in Duckworks, Le Dulci-Mer, Bolger design #457, I don't
recall an article in the magazine Messing About in Boats.

It is hard to tell from the photos, but the cabin looks very large
and roomy, with almost a 'glasshouse' window Navigator style
to it.

How many other Balance Lug Rig sailboats has Bolger designed?
Jessie Cooper is a Balanced Lug Yawl rig, etc..

Fellow Lug-nuts:
A couple people were interested in the reefing arrangements on my 30-
foot balanced luggers, so I created an album on the photo page. The
first word in the album title is "balanced." There's also an old
photo of the boat under full sail. This is the boat as originally
built; since them the cabin has been lengthened and raised. It's not
nearly as pretty, but much more roomy...
