Re: [bolger] Can You Trust PB&F?
I second that Pete.

Two suggestions for consideration - first, when someone has an issue, let them deal directly with the responsible party and not air laundry in public; certainly, we do not need to aid in such a discussion.
And, second, lets keep the discussion positive and focused on how we might be able to help be make PB&F designs available and accessible to future generations (should such help be welcomed) then get back to discussing PB&F designs.

I thoroughly agree with Pete. I joined this group a short while ago to learn more about Bolger's designs and those who have built and are building them. However, the off topic sniping and personal attacks have nearly led to my removing myself from this group.
I am looking into building Micro after I've started and finished building Steve Redmond's Whisp, a project I've commited myself to for the very near future. When that's done Micro looks just like the very thing I've dreamed about--having a small pocket cruiser to go exploring the various waters in the pacific northwest.
Pleases, please, please can we stay on topic. I want to learn something.

Here's my story:
I contacted Suzanne during the summer of 2010 with a request for information on one of the cartoons that had appeared in MAIB. She responded very quickly, and we carried on a correspondence that centered around the design of a cruising power boat. I found her to be perceptive, witty and engaged. She made sure to tell me that she preferred writing letters to e-mails, and that she was very deeply engaged in the Navy design. Further, she very graciously made time for me when she visited Seattle for a conference, and I had the treasured opportunity to meet her face to face and discuss the design process with her over dinner.
Speaking strictly for myself, and recognizing that others may have different perspectives, I appreciate the tremendous pressure Suzanne must feel she is under to demonstrate to the Navy and the port the success of this most recent design, and if she must be iron-willed to make it happen, so much the better. Equally, I love the body of work Phil left behind and that Suzanne is continuing, and hope that it can be made available and accessible to future generations.
