Phil Bolger later redesigned the NYMPH, I believe it is now called the FAT NYMPH - in that he added about 6" to the width of the boat. Think original NYMPH, then cut it straight down the middle and add the 6" addition. This adds greatly to it's stability and to it's carrying capacity.
I guess people no longer "got" the Rubens reference (i.e. RUBENS NYMPH)? I guess I *am* getting old
Rachel Former owner, M-17 #334 and M-15 #517 Still have Fatty Knees 7 though :)

Ah, yes, Rachel, My memory failed me. You aren't getting old, .....I am. It is now called the "RUEBEN NYMPH" and contrary to my original statement, the RUEBEN NYMPH is _*12" wider*_ than the original NYMPH, not the 6" as I stated. That must make it a very stable and pleasant dinghy to use. Connie
