Thanks Fred and Bruce. I'd read that comment in BWAOM (under the Presto

recently had a tentaive interest in scaling the AS-29 by half as a cheap
rowboat to see how that played out, thinking the AS-29 had that
property. But as I started to draw it, the difference between the bottom
profile and the arc of the side was more than I'd call reasonably close.
I suspect it would be difficult to design a practical boat that follows
that principle literally without accepting a wide bow transom (or a very
narrow boat or excessive rocker and draft). From what I'm able to see,
the Micro seems to be similar to the AS-29 in that regard. Perhaps it's
good enough to come closer to the idea in the way the AS-29 and Micro
(and others) do.
You're exactly right. Phil flattened the bottom curve toward the bow to keep it from coming too high out of the water. If a box keel cutwater is added, however, it is then possible to make the two curves exactly the same. I have played around with sketching such a change on Micro. Perhaps Susanne could step in and give us a fuller explanation.

His square boats from the 80s on tend to follow this plan. If looked at from bow-on or stern-on, the chine line will bisect the angle formed by the side and bottom. Phil talked about this in BWAOM, stating that by evenly splitting the water flow, eddies swirling across the chine would be reduced. That is why boats like Micro have a transom bow, since taking the lines out to a pointy stem would result in a bow too high out of the water. However, by adding a box-keel cutwater under the bow, he could get around this problem.
Perhaps Bruce could post some of his lines plans or links to them to show Phil's methodology.

I'm curious. Which of his boats actually follows the
"equal-curves-in-plan-and-profile paradigm" you mention?
"equal-curves-in-plan-and-profile paradigm" you mention?

Bruce, thanks for posting the lines plan. Phil didn't follow his equal-curves-in-plan-and-profile paradigm for this boat but stayed with the traditional form. Is it possible that it is from the yamato boats that Phil got his idea for the thick shoe keel, as on Clam Skiff?
This design looks like it would work very well as a fishing boat. It would ride soft, but not heel too much when leaning over the gunwale to work lines or nets.

Here is a quick isometric of Yamato Launch, design 511.
This boat looks very much like the yamato-gata boats Phil saw in Tokyo Bay during his service in the army of occupation after WW II, and as he wrote about in his first magazine article, which was republished by Watercraft magazine a couple of years ago. The cutwater and thick, wide bottom plank, instead of a keel, is distinctive of these boats.
Bruce, can you post straight-on bow and stern shots, so we can see how the lines work out? Thanks.

I know its not a Bolger design but Harry Sucher has a whole chapter on Hawaiian Yamato boats in his Simplified Boatbuilding, The V-Bottom Boat. It's out of print but you can find it at Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Simplified-Boatbuilding-V-Bottom-Harry-Sucher/dp/0393031802 His boats are not instant boats but he has a lot of good information on them. His plate 29 on page 243 looks similar to the Bolger cartoon somebody linked to earlier.

Unless he had some good reason not too, PCB usually worked within a accepted American style. I think his adaptations of other types really display genius at capturing shape and style. (Could anyone else have done the Plywood 12 1/2?) The Yamato looks great. (PCB would say it looks "well." He was a purist about some points of language.)

Here is a quick isometric of Yamato Launch, design 511. Not exactly
like a Diablo, with the cutwater and all. It is worth mentioning that
design 511 is a relatively recent number and in the text writeup to
Samuel Clyde, PCB mentioned he wanted to add a cutwater to the hull,
and this cutwater on Yamato might be a reflection of that train of
thought.
