Congrats on the launch of your beautiful boat.
PCB is going to be tickled, I'm sure.

I think that boat is very good looking with ANYTHING along side it Mr.
Bolger !
Enjoy. You have earned it.

This boat is a total rebuke to all those people who say all Bolger

Enjoy. You have earned it.

I have "virtually built" one, see the pictures here.

I agree, that it is a wonderful design, looking great, and I have no
doubt it is a great sailing boat too.
If you get to take PCB out for a sail, be sure to ask him everything,
and to take notes and photos and share what you learn back here with
us.

-Very good for a boat of her length and displacement. 15-20 knots of
wing needed to get her rail down, points very high, just a slight
touch of weather helm when wind is up. Turns in 1-2 boat-lengths. Max
hull speed estimated at 4.5-5.0 knots. Have yet to take any water
over lee rail, tips so far then stops. Hope to have Phil Bolger
himself out for a sail within next few weeks.

To my knowledge, I have just completed the first Plywood 12 1/2 to
Phil Bolger's plans. You can view the progress from start to finish on
the "Instand Boats Message Boards" boat building forum. My question

which I would be willing to share my thoughts with anyone willing to
undertake this type of project. Some Pic's are listed on this site but
