Re: [bolger] Re: Was "Solution 48" ever actually built?

I have a vague recollection of reading about a Solution 48 having been built (or maybe sailed) in Whangarei, New Zealand. This was probably 15-20 years ago and might have been an article in Cruising World magazine.

Check the Bolger Cartoons website files for 3pics of what was listed
as a Solution 48 for sale on Ebay. It looks like that one was built as
a motor cruiser with a conventional deck and massive pilothouse. The
interior pics show a shower where the centerboard case would be - if
I'm looking at the picture correctly. I've asked for some info on the
success of the Solution 48/Dawn Treader from Phil and Susanne via
another Bolger group member. Hopefully I'll have something to relay
soon. Meanwhile I'm still working on an RC model of one.

Yes, at least one was built. I saw a listing with a couple dim photos
when it was listed for sale a year or so ago. I have no info on how
well it sailed or the like.
Anyone know if it was? And how it actually worked out and sailed?
Thanks.
