Hello, I'm a newcomer to the forum and I'm interested in finding out what dinghy this is (see url below) as I'd like to obtain building plans.
I sent an inquiry to the photographer, as well as to woodenboat.org (sponsors of the festival?) but so far no luck.
Thanks for any assistance in identifying the boat,
Noel

She sure is a beauty. Some sort of Friendship Sloop origins, maybe.

It's a Phil Bolger Frienship sloop. I think this one is the 20' design, but I couldn't find the lines drawing to verify.

Sort of. I think it's actually a centerboarder, which would make it trailerable, but above the water resembles a Friendship.

Yes, this one is a centerboarder.

stollie,
I believe this boat is the Bolger design Fancy. Particulars are 15'7" X 6'6" and 725 pounds. Lines and description can be found in 30-Odd Boats by Philip C Bolger.

Thanks to you all for the assistance. My searches finally also came up with the same info, Bolger's 30-Odd Boats.
Best holiday wishes.
