Re: [bolger] Cruising prams?

Matthew:

I'm kind of on a lapstrake kick too. Have you considered this:

It's a nice lapstrake ply pram. Don't know if it would qualify as a dinghy
cruiser or not - guess it depends on how Spartan you are.

Greetings all!

Lots of neat stuff on the group these days--the glass house version
of Martha Jane is much nicer looking in the photos (and video!) than
it was on paper. I am also intrigued by the (nameless?) Birdwatcher
type, design #640, which manages both to look modern and remind me of
a Greek galley somehow. Kudos to the folks who made these posts.

I am still on my glued ply lapstrake kick these days, poring over
Iain Oughtred's catalog and manual. I like several of his designs (I
am leaning towards the 9'4" Granny pram with a balanced lug rig) but
I also keep going back to Bolger's Fieldmouse (and Supermouse) and
Japanese Beach Cruiser designs as smaller and larger alternatives,
respectively.

Does anyone have any other sugggestions for a hefty pram suitable for
dinghy cruising, and ideally designed for or adaptable to plywood
lapstrake construction?

Thanks and regards,
