Hug the monster, something is seriously rotten back in the US of A, and what austerity really means...
A friend is getting ready to build one of Phil Bolger's AS-29 designs... For those who don't know the design it is a sorta/kinda smaller version of our last boat, Loose Moose 2, and in it's current evolution looks like this...
The design actually predates our LM2 a kiss in the time line of Bolger designs. It's a lot of boat in a less than 30-foot extreme shoal draft package. More than once, I've toyed with the idea that the AS-29 would be no bad thing for the next boat.
As it happens, there's someone selling a set of plans in the Seattle area on Craigs List for a couple of hundred bucks... Tempting!
For those interested in more on this design, it has a chapter in "Boats With An Open Mind"...
Listening to It's a Beautiful Day do a song in homage to Don & Dewey.
So it goes...
