Ten days ago I faxed Phil Bolger and Friends (as per the fax number shown on this site (978) 282-1349) asking asking about purchasing the redrawn Catfish Beach...
Miles, I have used the fax number recently. At one point it took me a number of tries. I think the receiving machine was out of paper. It would answer but...
My recent experience in purchasing plans for a Tennessee started with a fax request that went unanswered. I sent a letter to the address and within a week had...

Sorry I have taken so long to post this. Several days ago, PCB&F mailed me copies of two of MAIB articles. Vol. 14 - No. 18 Camper, and Vol. 22 - No. 11...

... Here on the Westcoast, we have to wait weeks to get our MAIB. I had to do a double take, reading in that article about Bolger working on a design for boat...
... PB&F are loud and clear that Micro is not a extended blue water boat, mostly due to lack of cargo carrying capacity (and slow top hull speed from short...

Dear all, I am very happy to be the first builder of an Italian micro (I know that my friend Pippo had begun one of it, but he then has interrupted the job....
I vaugely remember reading somewhere that Phil Bolger had a rule of thumb for calculating the minimum mast bury for a freestanding mast. Does this ring a bell...
... Congratulations on the Micro! You are asking how to sail a 'Cat Yawl' rig, which has a big main sail in the bow and a small mizzen sail in the stern. I am...
Bruce H. "He wasn't talking of a trailer for behind an automobile, but rather of a trailer for behind a boat! (Phil Bolger, thinking outside the box, again!)" ...
... Yes, Bolger specifically mentioned a 'trailer hitch'. No doubt, coming from his mind, an ingenious 'trailer hitch'. Has anybody else truly taken the time...
I don't know what Bolger suggests, but I think the standard figure is 10% of the overall length minimum, which is what Jock McLeod reccomended for unstayed...
... I suspect that Bolger just 'eye ball' estimates what looks right. He almost always has the foot of the mast resting at the bottom of the boat and the mast...

Greg, AFIK, there are no Micros or Long Micros in the Portland area. I vaguely recall one perhaps in the Seattle area. If you contact RiversWest, they can put...
