I've run across his name many times in trying to get educated about boats. I suspect some here have been in boats of his design. --Vic |

There were several Bolger-designed sailboats in Milford harbor when I was growing up in that area, including a couple of "sharpies." I wonder if any of those beautiful old wood sailboats are still floating... We had an L16, a beautiful molded ply sailboat designed and built by Bill Luders in Stamford. Luders designed the American Eagle, an America's Cup contender in the mid 1960's that Ted Turner raced successfully around the world. I'll bet Luders and Bolger knew each other. |

Now that WAFA wants to be in on the boating post, he all of a sudden thinks Bolger boats are beautiful.. I knew it snerk Harry, WAFA.... Rest in Peace Phil.. You made small boats available to the "non-elite" in the world.. |

I like this quote from someone on the WoodenBoat forum: "He designed his death like he designed his boats: ugly, even grotesque to some, but inarguably practical and efficient in the final analysis."

"Some boats are better than others; but it's not important that they be better," he (P'B) says in a conversation about the uses to which various types are put. He means this "any sort of boat will do" in the general sense that a boat roughly suitable to its purpose can achieve its purpose, and in the social sense that it's good for people to enjoy themselves on the water whatever they're in, so long as they don't get drowned."
