Re: storm petrel
My model doesn't show the doghouse. As it's drawn, it's designed to
be lashed down. I'm thinking of just a flat plate so that the stuff
in the "cabin" can be kept dry and there would be plenty of
sprawling space on deck. The Tent Cot could be kept in the hold when
not in use.
The reduced keel is not on the plans. I made up a basic sketch and
Bolger added his comments to it.
The plans are on 2 sheets with a number key set of instructions.
Pretty complete. You start by assembling the deck upside down, add
the frames, attach the sides, nail the bottom and the hull is done.
All the woodwork is instant boat level.

Nels,
It takes 8 sheets of 3/8" ply with two sheets for the sides, most of
two for the bottom, one and half for the deck, and the other bits
scattered between the remaining sheets. I've got 6 sheets of 3/8"
okoume and will probably make the bottom from MDO along with the
keel. I plan to only glass the bottom but epoxy coat the rest.
I just pulled out one of the drawing sheets and it does say that the
design is for Payson.

My wife's family has been generally congregating around the So.
Thomaston area over the past few years. Her parents live right
around the corner from the Keag Store. Her sister and her husband
are just up the road from Dynamite Payson and our new property is in
Owl's Head with access to the Keag River from a cove. I'm the only
Maine native of the lot.
The motor on Storm Petrel mounts to either the right or left side of
the transom. It's not enough off center to cause any directional
problems. Inboard mounting of the rudder, in my opinion, would
complicate things and take space away from the cockpit area. On the
other hand I've never really thought about it. I have given some
thought to a small well to keep the gas supply segregated from the
rest of the cockpit.
Thanks for your other comments.

Hi Nels,
I just updated the page (http://www.belljar.net/bolgersp.htm)a bit
with some excerpts from PCB's letter to me. Yes, he specified the
addition of a 12" wide end plate to the rudder.
I am planning to use the lateen rig. It looks good, Phil specified
it, and it keeps the mast short. I'm sure that there are strong
parallels to other boats of the instant boat series. I believe that
SP was done for Payson. (By the way, I saw a boat propped up in
someone's back yard in So. Thomaston, ME a couple weeks ago. There
was a cover over the boat but the hull shape and keel looked very
much like SP. No one was home so I will look into this further next
time I'm up there.)
I did make a balsa model of the boat. Unfortunately my wife has the
digital camera and she's away until tomorrow. I'll take a picture of
it and stick it on the Web within a couple of days.
Changing subjects a bit, I am toying with the idea of using a
modified (legless) "Tent Cot" (http://www.tentcot.com) as a solo
sleeping accomodation. Fastened to the deck it should be fairly
comfortable. Fashioning a hatch in the bottom, one could access
supplies, potti, etc. in the below decks part of the boat. These are
pretty cheap and fold up quickly.

Thanks for taking the time to add this information. I think it might

Nels,
I have started a page on Storm Petrel, see
http://www.belljar.net/bolgersp.htm
There's not much there yet but I do have a sketch per Phil's
recommendations. I'll probably end up with a keel about 6-8 inches
deep and may (may) have a provision for a dagger board or something
similar as an assist.
The keel will be plywood, fairly thick and with a steel shoe. I'll
have lead inserts with a mass comparable to the steel plate and with
the center of gravity placed where the full steel plate's CG would
have been.
I first saw SP in Small Boat Journal. There was a small
illustration/sketch, probably the same as was in the book (haven't
seen that) but there were no dimensions. I'd spend the $50 with Phil
if you are interested in building it.
At some point I'll put the content of Phil's letter to me on the
site along with pictures. When I first communicated with him
something over 10 years ago he couldn't find the plans and he stated
that he didn't think it was one of his better efforts.
I'm not sure if he changed his opinion or not but about 3 years ago
when he did uncover the plans (cost was a reasonable $50) he said
that it should suit my purposes fine. I'm not looking for an
efficient sailer but something that can use a sail in good
conditions (otherwise I've got a selection of OBs in the 2-5 hp
range), be easy to tow, and perform safely when the sea kicks up a
bit. I also like the flat deck/seating area. Should make a decent
fly fishing platform.
We live in So. NH and just purchased some waterfront land (well,
it's on an inlet that dries out at low tide) in midcoast Maine. It's
about 5 miles to the Muscle Ridge Islands in Penobscot Bay and I can
see this boat fitting in nicely.
Thanks for your interest.

_Different Boats_.
I don't have my copy at my finger tips to check, but I
recall that most of the plans in that book are
reproduced 'in full' [reduced size, need a magnifying
glass]. It is a debatable question if the purchase
price of the book grants a right to build from the
plans. I'd bet that plans [and rights to build] can
be purchased from the designer too.
I vaguely recall that this design was also published
somewhere else, was it the old Common Sense Boats
catalogue.
I have always liked Storm Petrel, simple, sturdy and safe,
I want one!
The steel plate fin keel is elegant.
Any body knows if it is possible to find building plans for this
boat? And any file or document about?
boat? And any file or document about?
A possible reason for Mr. Bolger's delay is that he may actually be
boating! The weather in Boston was absolutely delightful today
(Mother's Day) and anyone in their right mind was either building a
boat as I was, or out enjoying the day in a boat. The Annisquam
River
would be wonderful on a day like today.
