Oldshoewatcher?

In the Oct. 15 2005 MAIB there is an article by Bolger in which he has
this to say about Oldshoe:

"The design is an obvious candidate for a Birdwatcher top, perhaps a
removeable one to use in appropriate weather. That would make one
heavy-weather capable indeed, they're stiff as designed, with the
200lbs of outside ballast giving a reassuring range of stability."

I would also suggest that one would be amazed at the amount of space
inside. Also since Mr. Bolger seems very interested in developing that
idea, I would bet a person would get a good deal of support if asking
for an updated Birwatcher type top. Or even use the Supermouse version.
