Re: Limits of the Sailing Dory
Mark,
With my browser, all I get is a holding page, "under construction".
The same is true for the Bolger website. Not being able to open
files is one thing, but entire web pages?

Chris, David, Harry & Who came over from the other thread:
Good the Hill's are happy with their boat. I wish they would
take me sailing.
Badger, IMHO, accepts the dory, and does a credible job
making best of it. From Bolger, instead, there's AS 39.
Having seen a John Gardner salty, raised deck,
beamy, sail-rigged. St. Pierre anchored in a bay, it
certainly had some volume. The Hill's Badger is a stunning
boat. Have you seen all the Cheap Page presentation on the
Chinese Gaff?
There's bound to be old threadtalk on the PB&F vernacular
sharpie, too. I have some drawings of a
Benford Square Boat, the 19' Gunkholer and other flat
bottomed sailers where he's made many adaptations-various
rigs construction and arrangement plans, twin centerboards
etc., but
still the stem is in the water.
Don Hamilton's 'The Circumnavigators' tells another tale of
someone gone long way in a dory.
"But if you swung the dory's flare out so the bottom was all
the way under a high, plumb side and..."
Another 'Dory Boat' article just remembered is in Different
Boats, Centennial II, where he tells the story of Charles Blackburn.

Annie Hill seems to think it sails well, and it seems doryish in it's
underwater shape to me (no expert I will grant you) except for having
all that lead hanging off the bottom.
