Re: Tennessee Article in M.A.I.B.
Hi Bruce,
half ago here in CO. Then within 10 days I got the next three issues,
including the Sept. 1 issue actually arriving on Sept. 1. Ah, the
mysteries of the USPS.
I always thought Tennessee would make a great canoe/kayak mothership,
or even carry a small sailing dinghy if it had something like a pickup
truck's pipe rack.

bigger than my needs. So many of us who build boats have very limited
build space and the costs of moving a large boat to the water is high
if you have to have it trucked there. He does find fascinating ways to
solve boat problems.

"He wasn't talking of a trailer for behind an automobile, but rather of
a trailer for behind a boat! (Phil Bolger, thinking outside the box,
again!)"
I don't know about you but I think that is very good idea. I towed a 9'
dingy behind a 25' sail boat, over a 1,000 miles one summer and it gave
me hell at times. In steep waves in bays or at sea the boat would surf
down waves and ram my boat or worse it would land in my cockpit in my
tiller. It swamped and turned turtle one dark night with my 240 sf main
up and I could not drop the sail, of course and the dingy was causing so
much drag the painter (tow rope) was as tight as a guitar string. I
could only run down wind because the painter had about 500 lb of strain
on it. I was about 60 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico.
There MUST be a better way to tow a boat. How about a trailer hitch
mounted on the transom?

Tennessee, he uses two layers of 1/2" plywood for the bottom on Topaz,
plus another three layers for a shoe. I haven't floated my Topaz yet,
but I can say that the bottom looks gorgeous.

Wish you the best with the Tenn' project. Post photos please.
The MAIB article also caught my interest. A few months ago I was
thinking I'd build a camp/cruiser, but a romantic interest has changed
my direction. I'm now thinking more of a picnic boat or gentleman's
speed boat, thus perhaps a Hawkeye w/o a cabin but multiple bimini
style shades, or an Idaho w/o the cabin, but the biminis and some nice
bright finished decking. A Tenn' w/o the cuddy cabin or perhaps a
wide slot like Michalak's AF-4 may also fill the bill and have more
beam, and room/capacity.
I strongly agree w' going to 1/2" on the bottom.

I have held on to plans purchased several years ago for the Tennessee,
and after reading Bolger's article about its fuel efficiency, I moved
10 sheets of 3/8 plywood into my shop today. I guess I'll go with
1/2" ply for the bottom, since I already have 4 sheets of it. You may
have some comments on the cabin configuration I've chosen, since it
is "up" like the Aussies do it. To see what I have in mind, I will
upload the picture of an 8 foot model I built, and sailed with my cat
in it, to photos section. I also added a link to my personal website
to the links section today. It is called "Blue Heron's Nest", and I
wish you guys would check out the "Virtual Voyager" section of it and
give me some feedback. Just pick your favorite waterway that the
towboats use, they are all there, mile-by-mile, including the Gulf
Intracoastal Waterway......enjoy!
