They are, and would be much appreciated I'm sure.

I think your speculation about the tradeoff's are correct. While it never felt like a slow boat, I'm sure others with less belly would be faster. But she had the most perfect handling of any boat I've ever been on, with the possible exception of Spartina. Absolutely steady on course, yet she would turn on a dime and maintain her momentum through a tack. The v-bottom gave a great ride, eliminating virtually all the slap and pounding common to flap panel boats. My wife dearly loved it. It's on my list to build another one, possibly with a birdwatcher cabin.

Bruce, once again, great job, and a big thanks for creating "isometrics" of our favorite designer's creations!
But, unless I'm actually looking at a specific link (such as your latest one: http://hallman. org/bolger/ CasualSailingDin ghy ) right here on this yahoo group, I can almost never find your various isometrics on the web. So, for me, almost every one of your works quickly disappears into the archives of this message board, never to be seen again - or even known about, if I miss the original post.
It's likely I'm just missing something very obvious on your http://hallman.org/bolger page, but perhaps you could create - or just tell me where to find! - a link to your catalogue of isometrics?
{In fact, if I go to www.hallman.org, which seems to be the parent page of both the above links, and your various isometrics, I can't even find a link back to your Bolger page. Is this by design, or am I just losing it?}
Anyway, I'd really love to see webpage which would allow me to access all your computer generations of PB&F's boats. Thanks!
