Podcast #77 (I can just click the download button and it plays fine in

Though it seems he's moved on to mostly his Troller (motor) designs,
it's interesting to hear his philosophy of sail designs; double-ended;
cutter-rig, easily maintained, etc.
Good interview, with some funny comments too.
Anybody read any of his books, and did you like them?

Have not read his book, but a fellow who was here not long ago buildt
a 42 ft Buehler Dragonfly. Interesting boat.

Buehler is one of many of the great designers and individualists that
have made cruising what it is. Nuff said.
