Who'd blackball you Gene? Ha.
PDRacer: different bottom profile to Brick anyway. IMHO the deepest draft of PDR is positioned wrongly for the intent - should be more forard with a longer run (lookit any modern, post 50's, planing sailing dinghy...) - still, class rules rules...
BTW, there's more than one Brick available from PB&F: Fast-, Gaffer-, Flying Cloud (box-keel cutwater), Double (2 + a Grout), and looks like a new 10'er cabined cruiser...
How'd 4 adults and a big dog go for an arvo sailing in chop in a PDR? I aint seen it myself... but that situation almost first defined Brick comfort and capability.

Suzanne -
Thank you for the reminder.
As a professional musician, I know how hard it is to protect the copyrights that we work so hard for. Everyone on the Internet wants everything for free, however the creators are due the proceeds from their creations. It is inexcusable for a vendor not to pay royalties to the creators of these works of art. We all know Phil's work as just that, "artwork". Most of which I would deem Modernist in nature with heavy influences of the Bauhaus with a great degree of common sense added. I will continue to support the boycott of CSD sold designs until they pay royalties per design as they should.
Enough rant. You can all tell I am just waiting for the epoxy to harden on the work skiff. Apparently System 3 takes much longer than WEST to cure (yes, plans from Payson). This project is much larger than I anticipated. New England weather has also been very uncooperative this year. Striped bass may need to wait until the fall run.

So, I was under the impression that the new owner(not Bernie Wolfard) of Common Sense designs decided that he owned those PCB designs and stopped paying royalties to Mr. Bolger on the plans he sold. Has this changed? I thought the consensus was to boycott that guy . . . .
Just curious.
FYI: NEVER be fooled into buying any of the CSD sea kayak plans!! They result in some truly awful boats - I built one before I knew any better. Gave it away to a non-kayaker after just a month.

Not to push anybody away from a Bolger purchase but for your information. Michael Storer on Duckworks Magazine sells plans for a twice removed offspring of the brick in PDF format for cheap. This is based on the PDRacer designs that Shorty based on the Bolger Brick at PDRacer.com . The Storer design is very very complete with 2 sail versions and support from Polysails of a kit to build the sail. Mik (Michael Storer) has a web site with videos of the things sailing. Please don't blackball me from the Bolger group for this! 8^|
Since the PDRacer is based on the Bolger Brick, there could be some concern that the boat is a copy. I personally feel that the concept was copied but the many changes in hull profile and hight would have Mr. Bolger saying that was not his boat any more. Phil truly was the inspiration for this group of boats with over 330 boats registered with the PDRacer web sight. And, not only do they have races scheduled around the globe, they hold a pan galactic race yearly, or something like that. Worth a look.

I think there are actually two Bolger Brick designs, my preference is
the one sold by Dynamite Payson which looks a little bit more
seaworthy.
The other one in the book Boats with an Open Mind is the one sold by
Common Sense. I have heard questions about whether those are
authorized Bolger plans.
Common Sense boats are where I boat my plans from. This was in teh days before the PDF version was available.

Dynamite Payson sells a plan called Brick, but it is not the original Brick but one 1' narrower.
I've built it, :-).

Looking at BWAOM the other night the drawing in the book would be enough for building her it looks to be a realy straight forward build. I kina feel bad I have never bought but one set of plans
( Queen Mab ) I have built most of my boats from the books. Heres to your sucess.

Good Morning,
looks like plans for the Brick are only available from the master
himself (unless you build from the sketches in one of his books)?
Looks like Payson is wrong on his website, where he writes "Big
Tortoise, or Brick", as it would be the same.
The Brick is 4' beam, no deck, 3 sheets, while the Big Tortoise is
3'2" beam, small decks on both ends, 2 sheets. I think the freeboard
of the Brick is higher, too.
Looks like Payson doesn't sell Brick plans, no?
Cheers,
Stefan
