Re: [bolger] Re: AS34 in the works?
AS-34 seems like a logical continuation of Bolger's primary design concepts.
For years I've been designing boats just for fun as a way to relax. I never
do anything with my designs. It's interesting that I've done many design
variations of the AS series with almost exactly AS-34's morphology, although
I continue the box keel all the way aft and put steel on the bottom of the
box keel to get cheap ballast as low as possible. With the box keel under a
sharpie hull, you get a bit more draft but with the benefit of standing
headroom throughout without needing to increase the above water height of
the boat. I've played around with this concept on Micro, replacing its
present keel with a box keel and keeping the draft the same. It really
increases interior functionality and eliminates the fussiness of casting
lead ballast.

Hi Gary,
The other "large advanced sharpie" was probably our commission, which we've since abandoned, so perhaps that will help the other designs get finished.

For the life of me I can't remember if it's flat bottomed or has a step bottom like the Fast Motorsailer. Plans were fairly well along, but not finished when I saw it in October. Phil and Susanne were planning to finish the design for this, another larger advanced sharpie, and the I-60 but were not planning any other new work, their time being taken up with other endeavors and diversions.I got a "final preliminary" copy of one sheet of this design a couple of years ago. It has the composite flat bottom aft/vee bottom forward that Susanne is using on almost every design nowadays, it seems. The last fishing boat drawings in MAIB show this same hull form. The interior layout was similar to Yonder, as I recall.

Cat Yawl rig, with tabernacled masts. Plus the "Tee" wide deck
overhanging forward, with two anchor cat heads, as seen on the new
Advanced Fisherman. The stem has the rounded shape of the Le Cabotin
in profile view.
Yes, it's one of their new "armored" bottomed sharpies -- a combination of steel, wood and foam.
