There could have been a postal mistake, or their handwritten address
on their return letter to you could have been illegible.

FWIW, the Anhinga design was kind of experimental, though I have built
a model and believe that without fiberglass, and with an air powered
nailer, you could build a functional Anhinga very quickly and cheaply,
in a matter of a few days.
I had a similar situation. I sent away to Bolger & Friends to get info on
getting the Anhinga plans back at the end of May. I still haven't heard
back. All of my information was typed, so there was no chance of
illegibility.

I decided to go with a Michalak design instead. I'm still hoping for
Anhinga for my next boat (but I'll probably have to order the plans from
Dynamite).

You don't say how long you have waited with no reply. They have a
well established reputation as being quick to reply. I can imagine a
couple problems. Perhaps you return address was illegible or your
letter got lost in the mail. Also, they have been known to take a
summer vacation. I would wait a week and send them another letter
asking again.

The Bantam is a great design which I too am interested in building.
I am very interested in this boat and have mailed a letter to Bolger
and Friends about it but have not received a reply. Does anyone know
where these plans can be obtained?

Thanks,
