Re: [bolger] The boats on Phil's headstone

Moccasin next to the Rose with that flying square topsail. I have been in love with that boat for 35 years.

Top left center looks like Jesse Cooper to me. The first "Box" hull I
think. Left of the Jochen's schooner I would guess Microtrawler, with
it's planing central ski. I would suggest perhaps the theme might be a
collection of Mr. Bolger's most favorite significant hull shape and
design innovations. Is that Resolution just above the Microtrawler?
With Watervan to the right of it? Perhaps the Romp hull 2nd row, then a
design with a box keel, then Chebacco and St. Valery?

Micro Navigator bottom right with Birdwatcher (with solent rig) to the
left?

one of them looks to be "water van" another looks like something in the "AS" series

It would be nice to see a higher resolution photo!

Someone might be able to find the MAIB article from about a year ago
where (I recall) SA wrote about the headstone.

I recognize several and can name AS-29, the AdvanceFisherman70 (twice,
I think), St. Vallery, William D. Jochems,

Others, that are now mere guesses, that might be a Black Skimmer, and
a Birdwatcher and a Micro Navigator across the lower bottom.
Interestingly, behind those, the long boat might be a boat from the
USNavy commission, I recall hearing of a folding cargo carrier.

Top left, could that be a Chebacco?, AS29, Low Power Cruiser?

Middle left, St Vallery, Not sure which box keel hull, not sure five
panel, AF70...

I recently came across this photo of Phil's headstone:

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=pv&GRid=65821075&PIpi=38808580

I wonder if anyone has a better shot?

It would be interesting to identify each of the designs featured and to hear (perhaps from Susanne?) why those particular designs were chosen.

Regards to all,
