Re: [bolger] Re: I’m trying to decide on a boat to build
Not a Bolger; and slightly longer (15') than what you are looking for.
However a beautiful sailing canoe; easy to build (Bolger box-like) and still
a great performer:

It's on my top three of next boats to build.

There has been a couple built to the shape of a PDR only longer like
12'.

Subject: [bolger] Im trying to decide on a boat to build
Hello,
So I'm trying to decide on a sail boat to build. Something is the 10
12 foot range, will row fairly well, and can be carried on a roof
rack. I would like a free standing rig, possibly with 2 masts as a
sort of cat-yawl (like a micro). Current ideas for a hull form are:
Puddle Duck, Sharpie, or a shallow v stitch and glue.
PDR, as far as I know, none have been built in this aria, (Mid Coast
Maine)so that defeats the class design aspect of this form. It is
still the simplest to build and a somewhat proven design.
Sharpie, not much more complicated that the PDR. Traditional fit with
two mast scheme. Rowing may not be so good.
Shallow V, more complex build, better tracking.
Any thought, suggestions or ideas?
Thanks, eep
