may have some meaning.For the rest I say,go easy on the chocolate

a chocolate grin from ear to ear ;-)
Thanks for the up-date Hugo....getting ready for winter yet?

Hello everybody,
I've just posted 3 pictures in the files section of Bolger4 Group in
the folder "Tyson's latest project- a Bunny R lobsterboat".
Nothing too exciting I'm afraid, but construction has begun on our
28' x10' x 2'9" "Bunny R" Inshore Gloucester Lobsterboat.
All the plans have been drawn up and my father has just finished
laminating all the major pieces of the backbone into usable chunks to
make this structure. He's also laminated the stem from several pieces
of celery top pine and is about to, (probably has aready started now!)
shape it!
I'll post more pictures as construction progresses.

PS. My father is really enjoying his Bolger designed "Spur II" rowing
boat, it far exceeds his expectations, and now that he's got some
longer spoon-bladed oars she really flies along, especially with two
people rowing(with a third person to trim her)! Also he's had quite
a few good sails in his Bolger designed 15' "Harbinger" catboat. She
moves along nicely too. he doesn't even bother taking his 3.5HP
outboard out to her any more for auxillary power as he's obtained a
pair of sweeps from a rowing club and she rows surprisingly well,
even against a fair tide! Hopefully I'll get some nice photos of her
sailing to post on this site soon!
