This site has been created and maintained by Chebacco enthusiasts since 1994 and is the most comprehensive source of information on the boats and the adventures their owners have in them. The archives are now indexed and searchable or you can just browse the last 30+ years of posts.
I am always looking for photos and stories to publish: <My Given Name>@chebacco.com
Chebaccos are a family of camp cruiser sailboats designed by Phil Bolger (1927-2009), one of the world’s most prolific and innovative boat designers. Chebacco boats are commonly, but not exclusively, home built. The majority of Chebacco boats are 19’8″ cat yawl rigged double chine ply construction, but other versions include lapstrake construction, cold moulded construction, cruising cabins, raised decks and a 25′ version. Chebacco boats continue to be built, sailed and enjoyed across the globe.

To mark the tenth anniversary of Chebacco.com under my stewardship and the 31st anniversary of the first newsletter in September this year I am re-launching the mini-fundraising appeal – it doesn’t cost a lot to keep Chebacco.com providing the most authoritive reference material on any Bolger boat on the internet, but it isn’t free either, a little over a hundred dollars per year I reckon. So if you value this site consider donating a few dollars to help out. Andrew
