	MR : Class Development in 1959
		Jack Holt once told me that he had never wanted this rig himself, but was persuaded to produce it by the syndicate of dinghy owners that sponsored the prototype.
		The championship winners were Jack Holt and Beccher Moore in Gently, one of the original Merlins, with a tall rig; she had already won the championships twice.
		A new design I had produced, rather more powerful than the "Cirrus" type, behaved in a depressing manner, though she was the first of the widely flared dinghies and came into her own several years later.

		The Firefly's larger sister, the Swordfish was designed in 1948.
		Holt was very prolific, his other designs include National 12s, Merlin Rockets (including the first Merlin), and the Cadet, Explorer, GP 14, Heron, Hornet, Lazy E (1960, popular in Australia), Miracle, Pacer, Solo, Streaker, and Vagabond.
		One of his National 12 designs was used for an experimental boat with fewer planks; a wide bottom and top plank, with three narrower ones on the turn of the bilges, and this led to the Osprey design.

		The dinghy pedigree is clearly evident in the isometric drawings of the hull.
		The boat is clearly designed to plane, but great efforts have been made to retain a hull form that is balanced when heeled up to 30 degrees.
		The dinghy shape has another advantage: the form has high initial stability, making her almost as stiff at lower heel angles as boats with much higher ballast ratios.

		A dinghy should not be able to scratch the mother-boat's paint, therefore a fender made from a length of heavy rope tied loosely to the outside of the bulwarks.

	Cherub - A Fast Easily Built 12ft dinghy
		During the early part of 1951 I designed for myself a twelve-foot hard chine boat of similar type to the English National fourteen foot Merlin Rocket class, but with a less extreme sail plan, I wanted to compete in the pennant class.
		The main reason for deciding on a square bilge design was that it allowed the use of 3/16 inch resin bonded plywood (obtainable in 7ft x 3ft sheets), which is lighter and easier to use, as well as to obtain than planking.
		With the English racing -dinghy type of lines (deep-chested planing hull) in square bilge the boat should be stiffer in a breeze, perform as well on the wind and perhaps better off the wind than a similar round bilge boat, except in very light weather.

		The Drascome Longboat uses toggles, which is simple and fast and the Mirror dinghy, Jack Holt’s famous design, uses lacing.
		Over 60,000 Mirror dinghies actively racing means there are a lot of owners lacing the sails to the mast.

	Notes From Our Shop - Spring 2005 - Chesapeake Light Craft
		The impetus for the Passagemaker Dinghy came from the success of the smaller Eastport Pram, a bestseller from the day of its launch five years ago.
		The similarity to Jack Holt’s famous Mirror Dinghy design of the 1960s is no coincidence.
		A dinghy is of little use if it can’t stand heavy abuse at the dock or on the beach, so there are three fullheight bulkheads buttressing the rails and large flotation tanks at bow and stern.
