Dave,
Go to furledsails.com and it's the featured podcast (because it's the
most recently released one). Probably the easiest way to download it
is to right-click on the link and select Save As.

Hi Bill,
containing the layout plan view and interior section view. It was
labelled "Final Preliminary" and dated 2006. Going from memory, it
has a v-bottom grafted to a steeply rockered flat sharpie bottom up
forward, like the Sitka Expolorer concept and our Auriga was to
have. Aft is more like a conventional sharpie. The interior is
similar to AS29 with some Yonder elements included. There's a small
doghouse over the aft double berth, for example. Standing headroom
is immediately forward of this double, where the galley is located.
Moving forward, there are P&S settee berths and then the head, with
standing headroom, I believe, all the way forward.
I seem to recall it has twin rudders with an outboard motor between
and aft of them. There is an offcenterboard that runs behind the
port settee and under the galley dresser. This is an element I don't
like, since it significantly degrades galley stowage volume and
access. There's room for an 8' FastBrick upside down between the
galley and head standing headroom volumes. In other words, the deck
is recessed over the settees to accomodate the big tender. The fit
seemed tight for the tender - I'm not sure where you're supposed to
put an outboard motor for it.
The sheet I have doesn't show the rig, but it appears to be cat yawl
with tabernacled masts similar to Yonder's rig. It seems like the
bow had a similar treatment aesthetically as Le Cabotin (Anemone),
but I'd have to dig out the drawing again to be sure.

>AS34? What's that look like?PB&F sent me one sheet of this design a couple of years ago,
containing the layout plan view and interior section view. It was
labelled "Final Preliminary" and dated 2006. Going from memory, it
has a v-bottom grafted to a steeply rockered flat sharpie bottom up
forward, like the Sitka Expolorer concept and our Auriga was to
have. Aft is more like a conventional sharpie. The interior is
similar to AS29 with some Yonder elements included. There's a small
doghouse over the aft double berth, for example. Standing headroom
is immediately forward of this double, where the galley is located.
Moving forward, there are P&S settee berths and then the head, with
standing headroom, I believe, all the way forward.
I seem to recall it has twin rudders with an outboard motor between
and aft of them. There is an offcenterboard that runs behind the
port settee and under the galley dresser. This is an element I don't
like, since it significantly degrades galley stowage volume and
access. There's room for an 8' FastBrick upside down between the
galley and head standing headroom volumes. In other words, the deck
is recessed over the settees to accomodate the big tender. The fit
seemed tight for the tender - I'm not sure where you're supposed to
put an outboard motor for it.
The sheet I have doesn't show the rig, but it appears to be cat yawl

Hey, isn't that essentially what Phil, and I guess mostly Susanne, told
Walkure skipper/builder Michael Wagner when he visited last year - the
list of mods he might opt to add to his AS29 to make it more seaworthy?
You out there Mike? Would you care to remind us if PB&F said it was
actually on the drawing board? (Mike's group:

Thanks Gary for this interview, really fascinating. Especially
interesting is PCB talking of his thoughts about sharpie design, about
3/4th of the way through of pt1 is a must listen where he explains
what has been called "sea of peas"

You could download the interview and listen to it offline. This would
work with a slow internet connection. If you would like any help
doing this email me directly.

Only saw it for a couple minutes. It's one of the newer type of
AS boats, with a more complex bow and construction method that
the "older" types like the AS 29. Seems like the the bottom was a
combination of steel, foam and plywood, the type that allowed Anemone
to survive her grounding on rocks. I remember thinking it had a nice
layout, but I'll be darned if I can remember any details.

Early in October, I had to be in Boston on business and had contacted
Phil and Susanne to see if it would be okay to run up to Gloucester
for a short visit. Phil called, to my surprise, and invited me to
spend a night, which I was able to do. He also generously agreed to
an interview, which I recorded and gave to my friend, Noel Davis,
who, with his wife Christy, does the excellent Furledsails.com
sailing podcast. Because of some technical issues and other seasonal
and similar delays, they just finished getting it ready for
broadcast. The interview lasted an hour and 40 minutes, and Noel said
most of it is usable. So it will go up on the site in two parts. The
first part went up last night, and the second should be posted in a
week or so. It's available at www.furledsails.com. (If you've
listened to their podcasts, they take requests for interview subjects
from their listeners and Bolger is one of the most frequent
requests.)
The only ground rule was Phil said he really didn't want to talk
about autobiographical stuff, so we just concentrated on boats. It's
mostly sailing, but there are some powerboat stuff, including on
their recent fishing boat efforts. (I'm going to have to listen
again, because I've forgotten much of what we talked about!) If
anyone has met Susanne, you know she is intense and voluble, but she
was determinedly silent throughout the interview, other than passing
an occasional note if she thought something should be added (and she
was always right). I did ask her a specific question at the end, so
you'll get to hear her in part 2.
To address a couple of things raised in recent posts, Phil was sick
last year (I didn't ask exactly when). It was not serious, but
apparently it took the doctors a while to figure out what was wrong
which led to quite a disruption in their lives, at least dealing with
the business end of things. He did seem to have completely recovered
and was very active and was as sharp as when I first met him 16 years
ago. I'm not sure, though, they had caught up on everything that
piled up while he was ill.

of their efforts are going to promoting the designs for the fuel
efficient fishing designs recently featured in MAIB, as they feel
