In any reasonably expansive dictionary the use of "eccentric", in the senses applicable to persons, has those particular meanings discretely defined. The senses of the word applicable to machinery, maths, astronomy, etc, are also discretely defined. A reasonable dictionary is not a dictator of word definitions (or spelling, or use) but is a record of words as used by speakers of the language. A certain threshold of use in that population is usually required for a word to be added/deleted, or to be redefined. You may redefine "eccentric" if you wish, and benefit. Good luck with that.

However, as it is, foci and directrices remain unchanged (usually), only the eccentricities shift as may be the case in any personal affectation, peccadillo, folly, mannerism, or quirkinesss. I'd suggest caution in confounding the senses of "eccentric", something with a deviant irregularity shifting about a centre, say, and having that centre also shifty, for then things are usually indeed shaky and in danger of really unhinging.

I think the word(s) you may be looking for are along the lines of ingenious, irrepressible, innovative, irreverent, inventive, insightful, individual; genius...

It is unfortunate that "eccentric" has become perjorative. The original meaning was mechanical, and it referred to device that rotated about a point other than its center. Eccentric gears are terribly useful things. Granted, today it's seen as a little bit steampunk to think in terms of clever machinery, but you can't have a camshaft without a bit of eccentricity someplace.

There is a center in the field of boat design, though of course that center is always moving. There is an average, there is an ordinary, there is a conventional, and these things always form the center of any field.

PCB was never at that center. It is unfortunate that "eccentric" has become perjorative.

eccentric adj. 1. deviating from the recognised or usual character, practice etc; irregular; peculiar; odd; queer: eccentric conduct, an eccentric person. (2. 3. 4. 5.) 6. one who or that which is unusual, peculiar, odd. (7. 8...)

eccentricity n. 1. an oddity or peculiarity, as of conduct. 2. the quality of being eccentric. 3. the amount by which anything is eccentric. (4. 5...) (Macquarie Dictionary, 2nd Rev Ed)

Odd, queer, irregular? PCB??? Nope - although 'unusual' in the usual sense not here above associated could perhaps apply, but not categorically.

John, with respect, to apply this word 'eccentric' to PCB (and to the firm of PB&F), well, this is to turn the meaning of the word almost entirely on it's head as applied to people. To describe a person (or firm) exemplifying, uprightness, gumption, straight-forwardness, integrity, honesty, reliability, diversity, well-roundedness, fair dealing, professional client care -- we could go on with a long list here -- suffice it to say that to sweepingly name someone or something eccentric precisely because they noteably so singulary demonstrate attributes of higher ideals that convention would hold to, but in fact is rarely seen, is a diservice to the designer, the firm, the legacy, and the language. That someone or something of such a wholesome model by it's rareity should be considered and labeled eccentric is untenable. Another look may be appropriate, many another word a more apt descriptor. (A word for one word labelling of PCB is: 'impossible'!)

Simply 'marching to your own drum' is likely never an instance of personal eccentricity. PCB's design work, as the record shows it, is not 'out there' on some peculiar branch of boat design, rather it is studied, well-rounded, diverse, wide-ranging, appropriate, and award winning, which may make it 'out there' or unique by combining all these counts, and by others yet, such as sheer volume, but not on the count truly of eccentricity. I don't know anything of fortunes gained or missed, of what-might-have-beens, or other what-all, but to successfully support oneself in business life over six decades (doing what you like best to do too!) is hardly an eccentric quality, rather it is one of centrality, of centredness. PCB, rightly, attained renoun for his communication too. A thousand letters outwards per year, never brief, always succinct and felicitous, and, as stated wayback in the short preface to the first of his boat books, Very Small Boats, the inclusion of some currency in that inward correspondence warranting reply would be sure to receive attention it otherwise may not, and sooner.

Good Morning All.

I do appreciate the spirit of protectiveness towards Phil Bolger's legacy and the friendly nudging towards more efficiency of this venture here in Gloucester. As you know PB&F has been indeed at full-throttle first getting the current project here and then getting her built in full public view (no less). Typically we get to watch other folks build small and larger craft. In this case direct 6 days a week hands-on-tools engagement is necessary on this 38'+x7'5" project for the US Navy and draws all the energy available. But the completion of the craft is becoming visible 'on the horizon', with the major stages done, two medium tasks on-going, and a bunch of 'small fry' left on the schedule.

So, as I have to tell myself everyday - or at 2am (!) - using Phil's steady counsel, "take an even strain"... Net progress is being made. And this project is now covered in the current and future issues of MAIB. It is very much in keeping with Phil's overall preference towards sophisticated simplicity and 'enabling' of seemingly unlikely boat-builders - this time honored direct engagement by the most relevant 'boat-owners' in the world.

I don't need to pull my hair out. After Phil's death I lost a scary amount of it. But that has subsided - with no signs of pending baldness... Stress yes. But now from the strains of net progress, rather than the impact of this worst loss.

The books no doubt will be, if they're helpful. You can get them more easily through through your local branch w/ inter-library loan.
Sometimes participants here have unused plans they'll sell or trade.
