Daniel Z. Bombigher article in Watercraft

[imported_Steven Bauer]

Two nice articles in this months Watercraft Magazine. No.39 May/June. The first is about a really nice 19' Bombigher designed beach cruiser Miss Simplette. The other is by Pete Greenfield, and tells a little about Daniel Bombigher's life and designs. I knew from here that he died in January but didn't know much about his designs. And his drawings are real works of art.

Its great to hear that his work will live on... and that watercraft has done an article on him

Ive often thought about buying a set of plans from him simply because theyre beautifully drawn and even if one didnt build the boat the plans would be almost a work of art in a frame on the wall... but the Aussie $$ into Euros really blows that idea out of the water!!

Ive always had a hankerin for the "Dream" design... sigh...
