Re: AS29/39 COCKPIT LAYOUT???
If I remember my plans correctly, the AS29 takes 55 sheets of 1/2 ply.

Both pages give very detailed informations about the number and

Hello John
I seem to remember Duckflat in Adelaide had a number of sheets for
that boat in one catalogue that they published - either 50 or 55
can't remember which, but it was one of those two numbers!

I seem to remember Duckflat in Adelaide had a number of sheets for

can't remember which, but it was one of those two numbers!

I just recently sold an old Marshall 18 catboat that was supposedly one
of the "kit" boats they made in 1968. (boy I miss it).
The mast was actually a tapered galvanized aluminum extrusion that is
frequently found on highway light poles and for sign posts. The fact
that it was still going strong in 2005 speaks well of the material.
Unfortunately, the boat had no tabernacle, which is the primary reason
I moved on as there was too much reliance on the boat yard for
launching and retrieval.

I haven't built a mast out of aluminum pipe, but I do have a certain amount
of experience working with aluminum as an engineer. And my opinion is that
yes, you should use a bushing. Aluminum has a relatively high coefficient of
friction with most metals, which will promote galling when you raise and
lower the mast. More importantly, it's strength per unit area is low
relative to most things you might make the pin out of. Therefore, you ought
to use a substantial bushing to spread the load out.

Andrew, Stepping down to the boarding ladder is pretty easy on mine
and the large bridge deck could take a couple seats to fish from with
no crowding. There's a snapshot of the stern in my photos at: "http://pandoradom.org

Andrew, if the AS29/39 hull, cockpit, and deck configuration suite your
need, AND you manage to find one, might I suggest you consider the Chinese
Gaff rig over the junk rig. At least if you settle on the AS29. Since the
AS29 is already a tabernacle, gaff cat yawl rig, she would probably lend
herself to the CG conversion at least as readily as the junk and give you
much better performance and control. Mind you, I don't know if Bolger has
drawn up plans for such a conversion for the AS29, which he has done for the
Micro and Micro Navigator. At any rate I'm certain he would welcome
discussion on the matter. I'm currently in the process of making this
conversion to my "traditional" micro. I'll take advantage of this post to
ask for advice from anyone experienced with using schedule 40 aluminium pipe
for a tabernacled mast if there should be a bushing of some sort in the
pivot pin hole? Educated opinions are also welcome.

Hi all.
I live near Melbourne in Australia and have been interested for a
while now in one day finding an AS29 or possibly an AS39 (almost
certainly second hand).
I would be looking to have/convert to a twin masted junk rig
(depending how hard it is).
But for me the deciding factor will probably be the layout of the
cockpit.
I love my diving and would like to have a dive door (I could live
without that).
I love my fishing and must be able to seat two people to fish
comfortably (I could not live without that).
The info on the web is great, but I find photos very deceiving at the
best of times, and kinda worry that the stern tapers in too much.
I also suspect that I would not like for the cockpit floor to sit
much above the waterline. (if it does?)
It seems that most people who make changes from MASTER PHIL'S design
regret it.
I wonder if converting is viable too.
Anyone built/purchased with similar requirements in mind?
Any appropriate pictures would be very much appreciated; as would a
look at a boat if anyone lives in my neck of the woods (I promise I
won't haunt you)?
Thanks
Andrew
