Bolger's Delaware Trawler
There was a recent article in one of the boat enthusiasts magazines
(not sure if it was MAIB) on a "concept" called the Delaware Trawler. I found some of the illustrations in one of the yahoo bolger groups along with a brief article. Couldn't tell very much about the hull though, as the cartoons had a "faxed" blurry look. Just wondering if anyone gas heard anything more about this boat? I know that Mr. Bolger has had some inquiries with at least two who committed to build the boat if he finished the plans. I was also wondering if this boat has a Windermere type hull bottom with the box keel covered with fillets at the bow and a layer of plywood on the bottom to form an arc. I never cared for the first generations of the box keel because of its appearence and pounding. But the Windermere seems to have really come a long way in design since boats like Hawkeye and Micro-trawler. Thanks! |

I don't know about the trawler first hand, but there is a very active group
of Bolger enthusiasts at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bolger/ (Note: there are at least five other Bolger groups. These are "overflow groups" to handle the limited storage space for any one group. The main discussion is as above.) Roger http://home.earthlink.net/~derbyrm "Handyman" wrote in message ups.com...
