Anybody in Seattle wanna show off your boat?
I'll be in Seattle for a meeting late next week and will have time to
play on Saturday and Sunday (the 24th and 25th). Would anyone care to
take on a Bolgerista as a crew member for a short sail?

Hi Peter,
Thanks for your lengthy and detailed reply :-D
Nels did say he owned her now. He is a most fortunate man.
One of the reasons I copied your build pics, Peter, was that along with the technical clarity there was the visual clarity of being able to see the boat's development out in the open against the greenery. So often build pics are slightly - and understandably - obscured by shelving, wood, other bits 'o boats, less than perfect lighting, etc. With Lestat's build I found that standing back from it gives an excellent sense of scale, etc. Also the keel information was so thorough. My Lestat folio (one of those neat, clear pocket things) now includes everything along with the 2001 Lake Chaplain Messabout. Sheer poetry!
Regarding the financial outlay, I'm sure you're right, I just plucked some ballpark figures from the air as a demonstration. Having said that, we import most of our timber and boards in the UK; suitable hardwoods - even English oak - are scarce and very pricey! Decent marine-ply (and there is some crap that pretends to be so) is also very expensive, and - it must be said - our standard of living relative to wage earning is a bit less than the US, I don't know about Canada. After the dinghy is finished and been used for a while, then I'll be better able to judge what my main build will be. As I'm getting long in the tooth, and managing on the financial largess of a firefighters pension, I can't afford to make many wrong choices! lol ;-)
A couple of questions, Peter: Why the name Lestat? The only one I know is the vampire; I guess lifeblood and money could be bled away by a boat-build! lol! Finally, can I ask what your current build/boat is?
I look forward to asking for advice from everyone many times in future.
Regards to all,
Tony.
