Bolger Cat on ebay.





courtesy ebay


This is a lovely Phil Bolger catboat for sale on ebay. Elegant beyond description, and offered at what seems a reasonable price. There are more photos on ebay, including the interior which is warm and inviting. I must say this boat has some of the sweetest, cleanest lines I've ever seen, in my humble opinion. Listed as Bolger design#373. Take a look. Here's the ebay blurb:

I am going to be out of town until Monday. Any questions about this vessel should be directed to the owner. His email address is reliabletow@earthlink.net. You will get same day replies.

copy these pictures through "print screen", and then "paste as a new image" (with PSP for instance)...

I've just spent the last 2 weeks re reading Bolger's "Boats with an open mind" - he really knew his stuff even if not all of us like his boat like a brick concept -

Bolger clearly knew a thing or two about cat boats - you could buy it!!
