Hi,

I thought you might like to know that there is a Bobcat being built in Switzerland. (any other european constructors out there ?) I should be in the water (Lake Geneva) this summer. She will be called GILL as I startedbuilding her in the cellar of a friends bar. (A gill is an old british measure for spirits) I enclose two old photos of the boat, I have now got to the stage of laying the deck. I built her from the article " Dynamite " Payson sent me from the Small Boat Journal and photocopies I enlarged from a book of his I found in a library ... the worst part was translating all those measurements into metric ! but everything went together beautifully. I can't wait to get sailing. A very big thanks to Messrs. Payson and Bolger.

Best regards,

Antoine Baillie
