I grabbed a copy of Traditional Boats of Ireland on the advice of Walt Peebles, the coracle builder with whom I voyaged down the Eel River in SCA #116. It was a big purchase back then but wish now I bought two. Delightful book for traditional boat fans and fools who love coracles.

It's not a sailboat, but Bolger designed a garvey for hauling a lawnmower to a small island that needed maintenance. It has an opening bow with a broad gangplank, He called it an LCM (Landing Craft Mower). It could be adapted for handicapped usage.
