Re: Mystery Motorsailer
Hi Jeb,
That's the Alaska Cargo Boat, which appears in a couple of places in
the files sections of the various Bolger Yahoo groups. It's the
first file in the bolger_study_plans_only group, and there's a copy
of the Launchings photo in there as well.
One big difference between this hull and FMS is that it's a
displacement hull and not meant to get up and plane like FMS can.

In the Launchings section of WoodenBoat #183, April 2005, a 30' 6" Bolger
motorsailer built by Scott and Clovis Leiser is featured. Other than Stephen
B., the name the Leisers gave their boat, there is no mention of a design
name. I assume Bolger designed the boat specifically for them. Does anyone
know of any follow up to this launching or of pictures of the boat under
way? Since I've become smitten by Fast Motorsailer my eye is automatically
drawn to that unique hull form. This boat is obviously a direct FMS
descendant. If no one on this list knows anything about it I'll ask PCB&F
about it in my next letter to them. I post my question here first because I
suspect Phil and Suzanne roll their eyes at my chronic distractions.
