Here are 75 novel and wonderful boats--some strange, some beautiful, all of them paragons of Philip Bolgers form-follows-function design philosophy. 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 Bolgers unfettered imagination does them. This is the first collection of Bolgers work in almost 15 years. It is long overdue.
Bolger is an eloquent writer and his comments run the gamut from hilarious to profound.--The Ensign
Bolger brings a kind of youthful feeling to yacht design--he would rather make precedent than follow it.--WoodenBoat
Bolger has a way of seducing even the lay reader into thinking about and beginning to understand boat design.--Cruising World
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 Bolgers diversity.--Boatbuilder
