Oh well.... Knowing the prevailing weather-conditions would help, SUSANNE !! Would make a fine yarn though, since the schooner was built at Story's in Essex,...
Hugo, I don't know why you have a disparaging view of the bolger groups. It is but one boat builder segment, one set of choices among many. I am quite keen on...

Mr. Tyson, as you are leaving, I'll inform you that at long last I've retrieved an aged blue-line print of 'Silverblaze'. I was certain we had sent it with...

Hugo, Just want to say that your family has become a part of the Bolger legend in my view. Some of the nicest "home" builds I could ever imagine. I always...
Its a good thing I didn't see this before the sale ended. I might have been foolish enough or smart enough to buy it. I'll probably put $12,000 into...

Well, as far as boats are concerned, I'm not a Bolger expert, but I am something of a fan. I just wonder if this is a good blue-water vessel, or if it's best...
Yes the Bolger schooner is a fine looking boat. That is the very reason I would likely not be able to buy it on line. MY method of buying a boat is first I...
