There's pictures of a Bolger boat in Sail magazine, Jan 2004 issue page 69. Name is Dugong, described as a "26 foot canoe sloop with 6" draft." She has...
Thanks Peter that was the whole reason for building the model. If you can build it 1/8th scale you can certainly do it full size. Full scale is more...
