Re: [bolger] Digest Number 268
I must say I'm getting a bit tired of this old stuff that keep re-appearing
in the list.
Ask any physicist - mass is mass - whatever it's made of, above OR below the
waterline. How the hell ('scuse French) would the water "know" that
internal ballast was made up of water or lead? Is the water "intelligent"?
Can it see inside the hull and say "Oh - water! I'll ignore that then".
The only difference, masswise, is that water takes up a lot more room than
lead, and you have less choice about where to put it. End of story. OK?

Hang in there, David, when my political campaign duties are over tomorrow,
I'll let you share in fairing/sanding/painting/launching my SweetCaroline.
It was almost 80 degrees F here today.

ps: I think we may start a Diablo Grande when the ways are clear for a new
project...

But is this not the season FOR building so that theoreticaly you can
be back on the water at first oppertunity with a new boat? Has any
one built Bolders ice boat?
Thankyou

I have to agree with Bill on this.
This issue has been rehashed many times, but I admit I like to
read the jargon from our resident scientists.
I for one, would love to hear about some of the adventures that
they may have taken in one of their beloved Bolger Boats. How about
someone writing about actually sailing their AS29 to some tropical
paridise, or braving the weather below and cooking a ham sandwich,
perhaps the first sail of a brand new Micro (sorry, you have to wait
until July for that one).
This is the season in the Northeast that is incredibly
frustrating. Winter is coming and the boatbuilding is ceasing to
exist. Let's have some entertainment here.
All of my Boats: Diablo, Pointy skiff, Micro, are all bundled up
under their winter tarps. Help us out up here!
