In 2019 and 2020, I bought, restored, and sailed a Bolger Bobcat catboat. Phil Bolger designed the Bobcat as a plywood-built, hard-chined version of the Beetle Cat. It's like sailing a sofa. So relaxed, so nice. This was my last sail with my Bobcat, which I called Polliwog, before selling it. I love boats and enjoy getting to spend time in many different boats. This might be the one that got away.
Awendaw is located about half an hour's drive from Charleston, SC. It's just inshore of Bulls Bay and the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge. I launched from Garris Landing and sailed NE up the ICW. You get a sense of what the South Carolina lowcountry looks like with its seas of spartina grass salt marsh and ambling tidal creeks.
Phil Bolger was one of the world's most out-of-the-box boat designers. This boat isn't very far out of the box, but it's a joy to sail!
