Romp and Yonder
Bolger Group: I did admire Romp so much I asked Phil and Suzanne to
design related boat - Yonder. It does have a higher displacement.
Design displacement is what the designer intended. Most craft exceed
design displacement with all the necessary and unnessary treasure
they float.
I sailed with Romp from my reading of the design as published in the
Bolger book and in the MAIB 3 "mini-series". The picture of Romp
sailing near the Golden Gate in San Francisco would set anyone's
heart sailing.
I never sailed with Romp except in my mind. When Phil and Suzanne
mentioned that I sailed in company with Romp, I recognized the error
but did nothing about it. I enjoyed the fiction.
With the exception of that information, the Yonder plans and 49 page
construction manual are a masterpiece. Almost all the ideas and
innovations in the design are theirs not mine. I only made
suggestions.
If I am a guy and at 62 I feel I am not, I am the one who is still
saving money to invest in the professional construction of this deign.
Have Yonder built or build it yourself. Designed for Alaska, it is
suited for many waters. See you sailing Yonder.
