Phillip: In today's world if a person is not political about their passions, the rules will very likely eliminate the object of their passion for them. ...
Thanks so much Dennis for mentioning they check the receipts for material when you register your home built boat in Washington state, and then deduct the sales...
Shemaya, I was just looking this morning for fotos and info on that design. I hope someone comes along with same. In the meantime, do you have fotos of yours...
Hi David, So far as I know, mine is only the second glasshouse Chebacco that has been built. The first was built by Bob Cushing, who had built some other...
Hello all, This is my first post with the group and I am waiting for my copy of boats with an open mind to come in and had a couple of questions. Are the...
Shemaya, Thanks for sharing that. I'll definitely bookmark that page... and look forward to reports of your sailing adventures. Cheers, David G "It is our...
Study plans, sort of. There is enough in the book to build the smaller boats (if you eyes can read small print). The larger boats would justify buying the...
My first impulse is to advise you to get a "lightly" used older edition. (The latest one I saw had very blurry and poorly defined offset tables, which seem...
Thats what I was hoping for. If it has enough to at least cost out everything and get a good idea of the building procedure I can then make a call in ordering...
Hi David, And if you decide to build a glasshouse Chebacco, do be in touch! From the link with the photo pages for my Chebacco, if you go up one directory...
I don't think anybody gave youthe address for ordering, its at the bottom of every message on this list. Plans: Mr. Philip C. Bolger, P.O. Box 1209,...
Regarding plan updates; In the case of the trailer sailer weekend cruiser Martha Jane, Bolger made extensive changes after the popular original design had...
Interesting. My copy of BWAOM bought new 6-7 years ago, has extremely sharp scans of the drawings. With a magnifying glass, I can easily read text of the...

Any opinions on which boat would be the best for learning to sail on a Small Lake ... Plans I have been considering are the Pirate Racer, Car Topper, Bobcat,...
I would take a look @ Teal ... From: Steve <paradox_4@...> Subject: [bolger] Learning to sail .. To: Bolger@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, November...
if this is your first building project, I would second Don -- look at Teal. Of the boats you mention, Cartopper would make an OK first project, too, but the...
Steve, I haven't been back over each of these with you question in mind, but - off the top - I'd say that the Bobcat would be the best boat to learn to sail...
How about June Bug, easy to build and stable http://www.akzeigers.com/JB.html I learned to sale in an El Toro, the Elegant Punt is similar in size an shape but...
Bolger's "Surf" is as easy to build as "Teal" (with chine logs that are about 16' long on the outside of the hull that you can have your local moulding...
That's a great idea. One of my boating club owns one of these which I've seen sail. It's a nice performer, easy to build, and quite stable. He likes his a lot....
I can endorse Rubens Nymph for your purposes. I sail mine on a 40 acre lake. It is very appropriate for that small space. It is suitably stable for a...
... I never registered my Wisp and for 20 years the only person to catch it was a fellow boater from MN - not the NPS or CG. I did register my Wish II but...
... of ... Tony; Costing from BWAOM may be tough as the scantlings are (mostly) not given. And Bolger has an unlisted number (does have a listed FAX though)....
Don I've bought two or three books lately that have this problem. They were from independent dealers on Amazon's website. The quality is almost like...
I built a bobcat as my first boat building project. Was it a good choice for a first boat??? I don't know, I didn't know any better at the time. I didn't...
Regarding the Teal being tippy. One of the ideas that was mentioned to me is as following (I'm cutting and pasting from a April 2007 post) ....I modified both...
I have a Surf and I love it. It was very easy and fast to build from good old BC pine ply and spruce construction grade lumber and it is three years old. I...
