Re: Canoe Yawls / Sea Otter 18 in Bolger3?
After further review, I came across Redwing 40. This boat has a
Redwing sheer line, but the lower hull design has much in common w'
the IGM10 including the shallow box keel, and there are nice
color "cartoons" of the hull.

I bought the study plans to get a closer look at this design. It is
very "Bolgeresque". Bolger's Plywood Diesel Cruiser in BWAOM is the
equivalent. Very very roomy!! The CMD design may be simpler than the
Bolger. The designer puts the modest tankage down in the box keel like
some of Bolger's similar designs. It seems likely a builder would
readily look to triple the specified tankage, to give the boat some real
legs.
In my very inexperienced opinion the CMD design is underpowered w' 9 hp.
The hull design is capable of handling some rough water, but one would
be short on hp in those conditions. Consider just the windage of the
hull. I wouldn't build the boat with less than a Yanmar 18hp. One
could also read Bolger's essay about his Delaware concept, specifically
talking about Jochem's schooner handling stiff weather with a 9.9
outboard. Built w' the 9hp engine, I think the owner would run the
little diesel wide open most of the time. More hp means a less stressed
powerplant most of the time, but sufficent power when needed to handle
the weather.

For a clue as to what this might be like, consider Burgundy, from
ch.10 of 30-Odd Boats. It's a 28' flat-bottomed deep-keel cat-ketch
with a low cuddy, meant to be a simpified version of Herreshoff's
Rozinante, at perhaps one third the cost. I guess a Birdwatcher
wersion of Burgundy would have that design's slot-cabin.

I was not aware that Phil and Susanne had re-designed Camper in 2004
and when I read the article it almost blew my socks off. It seems that
the changes were made in response to comments from this group perhaps
because almost everyone was suggested by folks here when Camper was
discussed at about that time frame.
I did not realize that it had a shallow box keel like the clam skiff
and now an anti-slap football has been added to the bow section. The
forward rails have been re-designed for improved access to the ground
tackle together wih anchor catheads and a Jonesport cleat on the bow
like Chebacco's. A fairly sophisicated adjustable vang strut has been
added between the boom and mast to prevent boom lift. Plus some other
minor changes.

I would strongly suggest that one browse through the back issues of

Yes, neat. My recent mention of the "Eun Mara" must mean I'm in a

seaworthy, less rigging and far simpler to build.
So despite the loveliness of the lines and overall looks, the
traditional canoe yawl is a pretty complicated little ship, and not
all that practical.
Peter Lenihan built an Elver and then a Micro. I believe the Micro
was a lot more boat, although the Elver is pretty as can be. I
actually have a set of Elver plans that were never used if you are

Hi Folks
Just curious-- anyone know anything about the Sea Otter canoe yawl
pictured in Bolger3's Files section?
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Bolger3/files/Canoe%20Yawl/
Googling revealed little on the subject. I've also seen mention a few
times of Bolger's admiration of the Rozinante design, and that he was
at work on a Birdwatcherized version of that design for his own use.
Any word on that design being completed? Canoe yawls have taken my
interest of late-- anyone have any favorite or interesting examples
of the species they'd like to share? I like the Elver design from
Steve Redmond, among others. It just ocurred to me that Long Micro
might be considered a "box canoe yawl" in a sense... it fits the
typical dimensions and spartan character of a canoe yawls but in its
Bolger-boxy way.
