RE: [bolger] Re: Bolger tribute report?
I have seen references to videos from PCB&F and I have the one on Lily. At
one point, there were references to a video on Birdwatcher and Queen Mab.
Does anyone know what might be available?

Hmmm. If PB&F are going increasingly to video format, I wonder if
they may at sometime go to other ICTs for things like new books,
reprints, study plans, and catalogues?
Thanks for your interesting report Charles. Were the proceedings
videoed, to be published by WB maybe?

They have a video about the William D. Jochems I believe.
Maybe they'll release the video they played at the tribute.

Hi Jon,
I just opened the latest issue of MAIB. PB&F will be going into this
(maybe the LC too) at some length over the the next number (4?) of
issues. I don't know about drawings. Things seem to be moving ahead now.

About a month ago I saw a report on, I believe, the Discovery channel about a new landing craft. I don't know if this was the one Phil designed or not, but it was pretty impressive. It was essentially a high speed amphibious battle tank. Unlike the old ones, with a speed of about 7 knots or so, this one had a speed of around 30 in the water and 50 on land. Propulsion was water jets in the water. Once on land it now acted as a tank, and held enough fuel to go inland for several hundred miles. I wish I could remember more, but seem to have the same problem as Charles Rouse:) Anyway, it was an awesome improvement over the old landing craft. It's just too bad we need them.

I didn't hear any reference to the efficient fishing boat
project. It sounds interesting though.
The video is very much worth seeing, especially for fans.
Maybe they plan to edit it, to take out gaps, battery failures,
or maybe the family cat walking accross the plans while
Phil talks about them. Though I found the cat charming.
Someone should ask Phil and Suzanne what their plans are
for the video. I'm guessing they plan something for it.

Hi Charles,
Thanks for the report. I too wish I could have been there. Did he
mention the Gloucester fishing boat project that has also taken their
time away from commissioned designs? Did you get to see any drawings
or photos of the landing craft?

I wonder if their Marine Corp landing craft, in the works for three
years, has any similarities to shallow water river boat, Wolfpack,
designed about four years ago?

was the M.C., Mike O'Brian gave a talk, and (I didn't take

and Suzanne have been doing for three years. They've been
working for the Navy on the next generation of landing craft
for the Marines. Because of the nature of the work, they've
been (I assume) asked not to talk about it. But they now can
talk a bit and wanted their customers to know what has been
keeping them tied up.
Phil brought a 70 minute video, basically unedited.He said
"We didn't have time, even so it's probably better
than listening to me mumbling at the podium." I take it he
doesn't do public speaking much.
The audience watched the video to the end like kids listening
to a particularly good bedtime story. In fact the respect
accorded Phil Bolger by this audience of mostly trade
professionals was amazing.
The video covered a variety of subjects, his childhood,
a basic story of his early boat design work, a boat by
boat account of several boats he designed some account of
his design principles, an explanation of why he designs
Bolger sharpies when not constrained by the customer
requests, his association with Suzanne Attenberg,
"She does most of the work now. She works with my ship
forms."
He had a rather sharp explanation of what he thought was
wrong with licensing of Naval Architects, and how this has
been attempted.
And a lot more. That video is well worth watching.
Bob Hicks of Messing about in boats was sitting behind
us. I sat next to Walter Baron of Old Wharf Dory, who
has built some Bolger boats. The fellow accross from us
just finished and brought to the show a beautiful lapstrake
Chebacco.
The publisher of Woodenboat magazine was there, and spoke
nice things about Phil. Quite a character. (Well, both of
them are.)
Incidentally, Phil thanked Woodenboat magazine for covering
his work over the years, and added that he didn't read all
the "glossy" magazines but read Woodenboat cover to cover
every issue.
The fellow, (names, names) who ran Small Boat Journal and
started the Cartoon series told how that got started.
Maybe someone who took notes or who has a better memory
for names can provide better information.
I had the ribs, clam chowder, corn on the cob, and
a brownie. O.K., two brownies. Don't try to lose weight
while in New England.
If I remember more, perhaps I can fill in later posts.
It was very much worth it to me going to the Woodenboat
show at Mystic Seaport. The Bolger Tribute was the
high point for me. That part of Connecticut is beautiful
and Mystic Seaport is a great resource for anyone interested
in wooden, old or interesting boats and maritime
traditions.

Did anyone on this list go to the tribute to Phil Bolger at Mystic
last weekend? The rest of us would love to hear any details you can
report.
