Just about all of the preparation work has been done for taking off Sjogin’s lines. It was a busy week getting into the swing of the usual scraping, sanding and priming along with construction of the lines recording tools.
Today was supposed to see the start of the process with some help from a couple of WoodenBoat Forum friends but this recent heat slowed my usual deliberate pace. I’m hoping to try for Wednesday.
…
The hull’s had the loose paint scraped, sanded and spot primed. The 24′ floor joists have been delivered; ready to be made into the measurement platform.
…
This is the square that will be set up on each section. Pine fingers will be attached to record the lap locations.
…
The chain hoists are ready to lift Sjogin and set her up dead level. (Hopefully.)
…
The measuring platform and square have been assembled. Getting closer. She’s been leveled at this point.
…
Milled the pine “fingers” this morning. They will be attached to the square with the points marking the lap joints. I also managed to putty the chips and dings in the hull with epoxy fairing compound. Progress on a very hot day.
Hi Russ… Just discovered your blog. That is one heck of a nice looking boat you’ve got there. I’m hoping to have my Tom Gilmer designed “Blue Moon” yawl back to LI Sound by the Fall, and intend to keep her in the water all winter too. It doesn’t freeze here anymore, so no reason to lose all that good sailing. I’ve been looking at stoves and like the look of yours. Just need to figure out where to squeeze one in 🙂

Progress made indeed, well done Russ. Not sure I can make it Wednesday, but it may be possible. I’ll let you know.
Hey Russ, that is seriously good looking boat that you have.
I can take a ride up on Wednesday, to lend a hand, if you would like. Give me a call, or shoot me an email.

Who’ll be there helping? Good luck with the process!
Hi Russ,
Looking forward to seeing a set of offsets.. Now you’ll have to work on getting Joe Leone’s Hot Sausage & Provolone Bread recipe for us.. Thanks
