Bolger Centennial II
Description
Centennial II is a plywood cat yawl cruiser designed by Phil Bolger (design #322). It appears in his book Different Boats (Chapter 11). It is a narrow, lightweight plywood boat intended as a simple, amateur-buildable cruiser with a cat yawl rig (typically a spritsail main with sprit boom and a small triangular spritsail mizzen). The hull draws from traditional dory or Banks dory influences but adapts them into Bolger's characteristic plywood construction style—likely with hard chines or a simple form for ease of building.
