A planing microtrawler; a glass-galleried, beachable birdwatching boat; a fully enclosed ocean-cruising rowboat; cruising sailboats that take the ground at low tide; power, sail, and rowing boats from 6 to 95 feet--these are boats as only Bolger's unfettered imagination does them. This is the first collection of Bolger's work in almost 15 years. It is long overdue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Bolger is an eloquent writer and his comments run the gamut from hilarious to profound.\"--\u003ci\u003eThe Ensign\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Bolger brings a kind of youthful feeling to yacht design--he would rather make precedent than follow it.\"--\u003ci\u003eWoodenBoat\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Bolger has a way of seducing even the lay reader into thinking about and beginning to understand boat design.\"--\u003ci\u003eCruising World\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Boat lovers who are used to designers who conceive the same boat over and over, camouflaged with a face-lifting here and there, will be amazed at Phil Bolger's diversity.\"--\u003ci\u003eBoatbuilder\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip C.
