Hi Bob There is a Bolger & Friends tabernacle design for the Micro, almost certainly available from them as an upgrade sheet or two for your existing Micro...
I've never been in a Nymph but I'm halfway through building one--the bilge pieces go on today. Having read that the Nymph is a bit tippy and since there is no...
If the "pool noodles" you're referring to are 6 feet long and 4 inches in diameter they will provide at most 32 pounds of flotation each, or about 1/3 of your...
It's no problem at all getting from the Nymph onto the boat or visa versa. Like your piroug she has a lot more reserve bouyancy than you expect, so you can ...
I think that is a cool idea with the foam tubes, and the red and green is a perfectly practical application. Let me know how that turns out on Nymph. How do...
Well, they are a simple enough boat to build, so I'll start with the Rubens, and maybe build a regular Nymph in the not so distant future. They are a bit...
http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=525094641&size=o I60. Shown on a broad reach, wow, that would be fast. I learned a whole bunch working out the...
... I own the Chinese Gaff Navigator type of Micro, and I do not feel any need for a tabernacle. Stepping the mast is easy and handy, due to the ability to...
Bruce, I never found stepping the Nicro mast a trivial exercise. From memory, my mast weighed about 35lbs and at 23 feet, it was a tricky manouvre to get it...
Family and friends watched Dayton leave from Cherry Grove Beach earlier today.It was quite an exciting event! Dayton is headed south to Charleston, SC to see...
Better to calculate than rely on intuition when it comes to buoyancy! Having done so: at 6' by 5" (or so) these tubes displace about 45 lbs--way less than I...
... Used a digital caliper at a parts counter and, depending how snugly and / or how out of round, measured the dust cap at either 2.049 or 2.051 inches. Hah!...
Ha! Have I got news! I just spent the whole day with Phil and Susan talking with them about our adventures aboard our AS-29. I'm tired for tonight, but I will...
Its been so long since the talking started on the 60 I have forgotten details. Its a breakdown boat correct? Your right, it should be scarily fast off the wind...
Thanks Bruce, John, Sorry I didn't search before postings but is helps anyway, the latest mod to the bow to stop wave slap and with the tabernacle I will check...
I dont know what the situation is when buying bearings on your side of the pond but the discounting situation over here used to be weird.Never pay list.I used...
Hello all. My wife and I are planning on attending. We won't be bringing a boat because the light scooner isn't finished. It will be great to meet other Bolger...
Ah, bearing stories! I learned to carry a set in the tow vehicle when I had my second boat. I gave my third boat to my sister, who subsequently moved into a...
... Yes, I didn't model the hinges, but they are a relatively simple, amounting to not much more than pins through some stout arms (made, I am guessing from 1...
... Well, my mast is 20 feet long, and definitely weighs more than 35 pounds. The problem is not so much the weight as the awkwardness. Essential is a place...
... It may also be helpful to know that Dynamite Payson includes RUBENS NYMPH plans in his latest book, as well as plans for AURAY PUNT and what he calls "BIG...
Not much help in keeping your trailer wheels dry, but remember to put your launching hitch at the end of the tow vehicle that does not do the pulling (or ...
... If my memory serves me right, there are four very similar (i.e. open deck) Bolger "real box boats" (i.e. rectangular plan view): - Shoebox Punt (5'6" x...
