I've always maintained that Rod MacAlpine Downie is an underrated dinghy designer. Thanks for clearing up that they are still being manufactured by Nickels Boat Company.Tweezermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559514473959503645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273883632460433399.post-64709270961849851092014-12-22T11:00:37.315-08:002014-12-22T11:00:37.315-08:00I recently had a fling with the BUccaneer and tang...I recently had a fling with the BUccaneer and tangentially the Mutineer. Looking for a "feeder" fleet boat, these became the most likely candidates. The Nickels Boat Company in Mich. is still building both boats and the Buc still has a fairly active class. In fact a Club in Alaska recently adopted the Buc as it's Club fleet. I always thought the Buccaneer was an attractive boat with it's biggish jib and tack set back from the bow and raking stem. Line an FD - sorta. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
