For those of you wannabe voyagers through the South Pacific, I trust you noticed the DNAGEROUS OUT OF SEASON TYPHOON down there three days ago? As you...
Wonder what happened to the Flicka seen on the beach in one of the photos taken by Jim and Debbie in 2003 while they were cruising the South Pacific aboard...
Hi Sam - That atoll is right between Tahiti and Tonga - the route most cruisers take. Alas, the lonely old Flicka looks like the end of someone's dream. Gene...
Greg , thank you for the good show, Did you also buy the teak rings from them? Was there a deal for purchasing a whole Set? Walt S/V Strider 145----- Original...
Carl, you are most welcome. Let us know how your project goes. One note that did not make the pdf file... I waited a week to trim the Sikaflex squeeze-out...
Walt, The teak rings did come from New Found Metals. For the thin cabin sides of the Flicka (relative to larger vessels), they recommend the teak rings to...
Me again, Sam - I'm sorry, I hadn't head of Jim and Debbie until I read your post here, and even reading it I didn't realize 'til I looked at all the pictures,...
Hi Gene, There are some posts by Deb/Jim right on this forum, e.g. messages 9893 and 9902. Please run a query by " Hrai Roo " and you get more... And Flicka...
Hi Gene and Heather: I would not use that device. The water pressure would have to overcome the flexible water pump impeller. Somehow I don't like that. What I...
Will the skipper who requested video of the Nod's hatch board locking system please re-send ctc info......your email with address disappeared... Thanks, ...
Greetings All: Does anyone have technical drawings and/or experience building the bowprit anchor roller PLATFORM? My Flicka, s/n 136, was built with only the...
Ken, I can only offer a solution for acquiring teak. I, too, went through the shocking experience of shopping for teak. I picked up quantities for my small...
Wow, some nice pictures of gaff-rigged, Flicka "Flicka" (not to be confused with PSC #297 "Flicka") have been posted in Photos / Flicka. Tim, what's the story...
Force 0: Sails hanging limp. Tiller tends itself. Force 1: Beginning pressure on sails. If sheet is eased out, the tiller still tends itself. Force 2: Sails...
Greg, Great presentation! Thank you so, so much. I've been putting this off for a long time, probably due to the fear of a wrong cut here, too deep a whole...
Roy, I put off for two years due to the same fears. I pictured me standing amidst butchered cabin sides, with various port components and tools resting at the...
Pacific Seacraft sold the molds for the Dana to two guys from Seacraft yachts in Seattle. Is Pacific Seacraft going to sell the Flicka molds or just let them...
Will PSC sell the Flicka molds? Of course they will. If you went to them with $1 million cash they probably would, but my guess it they don't want to waste...
Mike, I have made several offers to purchase the Flicka molds and have a 6000 foot warehouse to start construction. I have not been able to get a straight...
The news of the private sale of the Dana tooling seems odd to me. I would think that the private sale of assets would require court approval while PSC is in...
It appears that PSC is now concentrating their effort on more profitable, larger boats (31+ ft)... But I agree with Jay (aka Dohenyboy). I don't think PSC will...

If you want to build a Flicka, why don't you get in touch with Bruce. PSC may have owned the COMPLETE DESIGN RIGHTS to the Dana, but is that the same with the...
I was at the samlmorse.com site recently and the molds for both the bristal channel cutter and the falmouth cutter are for sale. The company has packed it in....
As a Flicka owner and a great fun of Flickas I just want Flicka production somehow revived in a most feasible way for a company to sustain its production,...
It is said that Bruce's father, Fred Bingham, also a naval architect/boat designer, took the Flicka design and stretched her longitudinally to 24 ft. (He kept...
Oh wow, that is interesting. I just toured their building site in Costa Mesa a few months ago, and they were building a few boats, maybe 3 or 4 (it's a very...
