Nice work. It’s good to see a Bobby again. I have built two of these in my time and the first was in exactly this colour scheme. Isn’t it funny how some designs catch the imagination of many people and become perennial favourites? Makes me feel like digging out the plan again.

It would be nice to see some action photos!

Thought you Bobby fans would like to see this video I took of a Bobby using I/C at the Ellesmere Port Spring show at the E’Port Museam this weekend just gone. (Great Show by the Way)

 

The Bobby is about 10-15 % larger than the original 1977 Plan.and belongs to a memeber of the Liverpool Club.

Hi Larry. Bobby is great on the water. It looks very credible. And as you say a great boat to start with. But certainly complicated enough to make it interesting. Ole

[LARRY WHETTONParticipant @larrywhetton68737]

HI OLE, thank you might build a stretch version when the season finishes …LARRY..

[Ole VaugerParticipant @olevauger]

Hi Larry. Looking forward to a stretched version. Nice to have some goals for next season. I have started Gry Maritha and I also have a whaler built from scratch that is not finished. And who knows, maybe I build a hull this summer. Have a dream to build the Kon–Tiki. Ole
