Bolger 'June Bug' questions...

[Jeffery Cadle Young]

Hello;

I'm thinking of building June Bug, to be used soley to row with.
Sometimes single, but often with a passenger.

Does anyone have any experience with this boat? Comments, suggestions?

Thanks in advance...

Try looking here: http://www.taynet.co.uk/users/wbs/ch13.htm I believe
there is info about a "June Bug" that is being used as a tender to a
Bolger Chebacco 20.

One was built while I was working at Duck Flat Wooden Boats in South Australia

It went together well.

From experience of similar boats would expect it to behave about as Bolger says:
Good to row - reasonable sailer (due to optimised rowing shape).

Looks just right for the type of boat that it is too.

Hope this helps

hi yes I have a june bug, I put a small 3.3 motor on mine , I tried out the new motor, but did not turn the breather cap..so I flooded the motor..not knowing about motors...so I had to row..about a km to shore...yeah I can say this boat really rows well and fast, great to handle chop as to her design.
