this somewhere; I remember being rather enthralled with the concept
when it was published. Looks like an adamptation of the Wish II sharpie
in 30-Odd Boats. Think I would build it without the two aft berth bur
with a convention cockpit and self draining footwell.

'flat' bow was not as blunt as I had imagined. The equal angled
convergence of the keel and bilge strakes coming to an apex with the
raked bow transom to present a point, of sorts, to the oncoming wave.

Still quite blunt compared to, for instance, a Shivaree, but not far
from the degree of the bluntness seen in some of the 'pop them out of
the mold' factory fiberglass 'bathtub boats'
that are common now-a-days.
Anybody else think that Cartoon #1 looks like a Humpback Whale?

> in a small package with very little downside over a pointy front boat.I was surprised to see, in three dimensions, that due to the rake, the
'flat' bow was not as blunt as I had imagined. The equal angled
convergence of the keel and bilge strakes coming to an apex with the
raked bow transom to present a point, of sorts, to the oncoming wave.

(that I know of), just because I think that the pram is an underused
type. Just for example, I think that for use in Long Island Sound
where waves over 2 feet are uncommon, and waves over 4 feet are
unheard of in decent cruising weather, a pram could fit a lot of boat
in a small package with very little downside over a pointy front boat.
But, somewhere between the AS-19 and St Vallerie, there is an existing
alternative.

In the Mid-Atlantic boatbuilders used what was at hand. There are many boats
out there with peach or apple frames. Osage orange is also a favorite
[Sultana]. Regardless of materials available, Gitrdone!

Resolution model:
http://community.webshots.com/album/486279061yCRyrD
45' x 9'6" Dipping lug mainsail, cat yawl. This is the 'liveaboard'
that Phil Bolger designed and commissioned for his own personal use.
[Which is saying somthing.] What impresses me about it is the no
compromise straight ahead seaworthyness.
If I was faced with building a Loose Moose II or a Resolution, I think
I would choose
a Resolution. Designed for carvel planks and steam bent ribs, I think
that this shape of hull could be adapted for other materials available
in places beyond New England, like plywood frames and strip planking.

22' x 8' My thoughts are that boat looks much better in the round
