Re: what about using the bow for the stern?
Dewey
your right it is the shape I was talking about
sometimes I wonder if there is anything left to invent in the way of
boats
I love the writing of Mr Bolger when he stated " I was prepaired to
be
mildly aplogetic if there were cracking sounds when tested by
playcing
the boat on saw horses and having sevel men jump up and down in the
middle..."
a wize bit of do it and then test
thankyou for the memory
the last page of on the Gloucester Gull in my copy of 'Bolger Boats',
a reprint of small boats and the folding schooner, had a photo of one
built by Shelter island yacht Ways of san diac=go said to be a
lively
sailer but tricky and wet looks as through some ballest would be a
good idea
thankyou

Jeff, I recently was able to purchase a somewhat musty copy of PCB's
1973 book, SMALL BOATS. On page 48 I discovered the 'Gloucester
Yawl', with a hull shape not unlike what you are imagining (if I
interpret your post correctly). At 21'0" x 5'6" with a double-ended,
box-section 'cutwater' reaching 3'4" in width amidships, the
Gloucester Gull was intended to be sailed and rowed by a crew of four
or five. It is not comparable in purpose to Microtrawler but you can
see a Bolger thread there. The design was apparently too,
um, 'original' for the would-be client, who rejected it in the end.
But I can't help but wonder if it's been built by others. I don't see
any links to Gloucester Yawl through the usual (to me, at least)
Bolger-related Websites. Does anyone on the List have any information?

Jeff,
Probably the boat you're scheming up won't plane anymore, nor support a 50 HP
outboard without dragging the sponsons badly. Part of the beauty of the
Microtrawler is combining good high and low speed operation, which is what the
typical wide transomed, driveway sculpture just won't do.
Bolger has done what you describe in the sailboat 'Antispray,' now abuilding,
and discussed here recently under "re: Big but not huge sharpie." A low speed proposition.
Around Oregon, there are the George Calkins shallow vee bottom, double-ended,
planing 'Bartenders.' with a very good reputation for seakeeping. They come in
different sizes, but the 3000# 22 footer needs 150 HP.
