Thanks, Bruce. I've gotten eye strain trying to glean details about Pointer from the one or two pictures in the various Bolger books. Wasn't there a reference somewhere to one of his sharpies having a 4" thick bottom? Was that Pointer?

You look at a catboat like this with the huge boom and you think death
roll off the wind but I guess Sharpies don't really roll that way, it
seems like as soon as the chine lifted you would have a counteracting
force.

It makes one guess: Did he choose the name "Pointer" with the meaning
"sharp point"?

Thanks! Always wanted to see more on that craft.
