I haven't been reading this thread closely, but the Bolger prototype of a box keel hull in the 'Nano' family was called "Flying Cloud" if I am not mistaken.

An open version of the hull was built and tested by Bolger, though it may have been an 8 foot boat.

There was an MAIB article about the 8' version. Basically it was a Tortoise with the full length box keel added. At one time there was a scan of this MAIB on the net somewhere, I say that 'cause I remember reading it, but don't have it in my small collection.

I am also sure it had a design number which means you can likely buy a plan for the 8' from PB&F.  From what I've observed here, if Nano is not complete, then you would need to commission the completion to get the plans. Upside of that, is the PB&F plans I own are excellent.

Hi Bruce, Thanks for the info. Yeh got that and printed it out a few days ago but somehow missed the sail area. No mention of LWL but I can scale it from a drawing.

Just thought there might be the complete spec somewhere.

Thanks again
