If you haven't seen a project like this in progress then you it is hard to emphasize with the level of commitment required. Watching the Double Eagle "Great...
Reading in MAIB about Tenn' there was mention of a square stern Topaz "eventually". This brought to mind there is some number of commissioned designs pending...
... I think, also, Insolent 60 and Snow Leopard. With Topaz, everything aft of the motor mount is just 'fairing', so with the use of a saw, Topaz is already...
I believe that Sitka Explorer was commissioned, and the Delaware Trawler was as well. ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? ...
No word lately on Wandervogel either, just the cryptic mentions of the design work backlog that show up in MAIB from time to time. Wandervogel is a 23' water...
Bruce, Looking fwd to the launch of your Spyder version of Topaz. I guess I understood a square stern Topaz to maintain greater beam to the stern thus having...

I created a folder named Tennesee there and uploaded the picture from a July 06 issue of MAIB. I wanted to put it in cartoons but that is filled. Seems to me...
Phillip Bolger seems to do things for a reason. He conducts his design work in a deliberative, and purposeful way. I've been trying to come to terms with some...
I wonder if anyone has given up on waiting for commision results and has asked for a refund? It is now at least three years since the "Snow Leopard" design...
I recently asked the group for advice about stretching a tortoise or brick for a 1000 lb capicity tender/dinghy. I posed the same question to PB&F. Bolger...
Hi Dominic, ... We're still holding out for Auriga, now well over five years in the queue, and like you with money spent up front. We have had no contact from...
Payson's "Building the New Instant Boats"provides a blow-by-blow account of building the 14' JB. It seems quite a few have been built. Bolger wanted the design...

What Howard said, Sam. Aparently, June Bug stirred up a lot of contention at the time, and especially after the design was published in Small Boat Journal....
Yes we paid around $800 Australian dollars for the design to be started with at least the same to be paid on completion. I am really not too concerned about...
Y'all are remarkably patient. I know guys who would be asking for an update every month. I don't think that a quarterly progress report is too much to ask. ...
I'll bet PB was tickled by the whole June Bug controversy. Here is my reservation about June Bug, and my crazy idea. I wanted a tender that could take my 3hp ...
Sam, For June Bug, your outboard idea might not be too crazy. There is that nice combing across the front of the rear deck which could be reinforced to take...
Good ideas, Lewis. I believe I would make the coaming into a full bulkhead and run the seat back to it to make a girder. That ought to give her sufficient ...
Just had a few requests from folks who wanted to see the differences between Jean and Gaby's "Anemone" and our Loose Moose 2... Well for starters Loose Moose 2...
