Re: [bolger] Wisp isometric
If you want to see one in person, one always comes to the MidAtlantic
Small Craft Festival the first weekend in October. Beautiful boat.

Thanks Bruce:
I built a Wisp 22 years ago and have had it all over -
mainly the Apostle Islands - and though it is a
quintessential beach cruiser - being on Lake Superior
probably isn't terribly recommended. The last trip I made
was with my daughter (seven days and five light houses)
after she asked (she was younger then) why I kept saying
that an open boat isn't really so good for the big lake -
so I took her up to demonstrate - after that we built our
Wish II.
MAIB did a cover photo to go with an article Phill and Susanne
wrote on the design and beach cruising (a while ago).
Also Phil's nephew WIlliam built one and we
corresponded a bit (he used strip planking, thinner
bilge board and decked the front over to the mast).
He passed before I could meet him. I guess only a couple
of others have been built.

p.s. I just finished a dragon boat for the Local TEAMSurvivor
in Madison - my partner documented the process at:

(a great big payson canoe !!)
