How many Bolger groups??
Never ceases to amaze me how much info gets asked for again and again
when it is readily availabe.
If you go to the Bolger home page,
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bolger/
you will find a list of links to all the Bolger groups. Join all of
them. Check occasionally for new groups.

> Did PCB ever do an article in MAIB for Le Cabotin, the modified AS-39?At least two that I know of.

Susan Davis <futabachan@...>
I have a couple of questions. First, is there a Bolger 5 group yet?
I'm a member of 1-4, and notice they're all full (storage-wise).
I'm trying to find the article from MAIB on the AS-39. I've looked
through the files of the four groups and couldn't find it. According
to the list of Bolger articles in MAIB in the files section, it's Vol.
12, Iss. 15. Could someone point me in the right direction, or
possibly scan and post the article?

The Cabin Clam Skiff looks pretty neat here too. Big motor though!

If Payson says she will be OK with ten horses or less,
then I think you have winner, Nels. Stable, sturdy,
high load capacity. From what I have seen of the Clam
Skiff and its variations, it is dead simple to build,
yet is one of those rare sheet plywood boats that
looks good from every angle. I love the sheer of the
boat and have often thought of building one myself.

I was looking at the Clam Skiffs at Dynamite's site and it gives the
motor requirements as low as 5HP. Even the shorter one might be neat
with a cuddy attached to get in out of the rain and bugs and a slot
top with opening windows. And still able to carry a 15 or 16 foot
canoe maybe.
Plans for the shorter one are only $35!

The Cabin
birdwatcher hull would make more sense with the little
motor. That is, I think a displacement hull would be
the ticket, rather than a dedicated planing hull like
the Clam Skiff, but someone on this site must have
some run a clam skiff and would know much better than
I her displacement performance. How about something
like the Idaho? I would think she could be set up
with lots of deck space, if that is what your friend
needs.

I'm thinking BirdwatherII as he is interested in using a yuloh at
times too, plus the little motor is handy. But he would like to
carry a canoe or kayak as well and would like to sleep on deck at
times so that is why I thought of Bantam. The Cabin Clam Skiff might
work with the canoe carried overhead, but it does not have the open
deck space like Bantam.
Yeah I know - just open the windows right? I think it needs a larger

A bit ago, Bruce Hector posted the following... in those pictures you
will find one that is a 9.9 driving the Bantam, if I've got this all
straight... looked to be doing fine:
Photo's of John Bartlett's stretched Bantam, named "Pelican", are in
Bolger4photos in that groups photo section in the album named Pelican.
http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/bolger4photos/lst
I spent a nice day on it last winter with John, stable, quick,
economical with just a 9.9. At that time the stretch was all deck, but
I think he was working on extending the cabin over the last year.

Nels, I am a multi-hull fan from way back, but given
your correspondant's wish list I wonder if something
simpler might give him the same performance and more
boat. One of the "state" series power sharpies would
be suitable for European canals, as would Topaz. Topaz
beam is about 7', and some of the sharpies are
narrower than that. I think French and German canals
are wider, but British/Irish canals can be
narrow--your friend might want to find the max. beam
he can use. Bolger indicated that the high-thrust 9.9
Yamaha would be adquate for a Topaz at hull speed of
around 6.5 kts, and I would guess that would be true
for the other power sharpies as well. They are less
complex to construct and have a higher load-carrying
capability that the Bantam, if longer-term cruising
were the object. I have no doubt a Bantam with a 9.9
would be a fun day cruiser and would run at hull speed
(5kts?) without strain. Sam

Hi Bolgeristas,
Anybody care to comment on Bantam as being suitable for a canal
cruiser? Also wondering how it would perform with a Yamaha 9.9 4-
stroke? I know it calls for a least a 15 to give 12 knots. But the
fellow that is asking just wants to go at 5 or 6 mostly. Quiet and
slow.
To me it has excellent potential for that but I have no idea of what I
may be overlooking before I respond to him. He doesn't seem to care if
it is trailerable so long as it is economical, with enough space to
move around both inside and out and do some river and coastal cruising
as well. He's actually thinking of Europe and is not a sailer or even
a boater by experience.
Thanks, Nels
