Unacceptable growth in a finite system, why I still use a mask when needful, and in the "Pretty much says it all" department...
Every once in a while I find myself clicking with a design that I never quite grokked in the past. For instance, Bolger's Birdwatcher never quite made sense to me. While lots of folks really love the whole walk-through deck arrangement the only thing that I saw was one huge leak just waiting to happen.
Plus, building a Birdwatcher was, for me at least, a lot of extra labor and expense for a glorified day-sailor. That said, I still think the Birdwatcher is a very cool boat but just not for me.
I saw a bigger version, a Whalewatcher for sale, and it sorta/kinda clicked. The huge slot in the deck is still problematic for me but the boat at twenty-nine feet now makes sense and would make a great small cruiser.
Certainly a boat worth checking out.
