With the 2010 Duckboat Worlds set for the 27th, I’m sharing my boat work time between Sjogin and Speedwell. Our 1950? Phil Clarke Duckboat had a new keel, centerboard case and mast step renewed this past winter. Prior posts here and here. Of course Speedwell’s been sitting in a shed waiting to be painted and rigged since April. Must be something in the water at Beaton’s.

Doubling my fun. The bottom needs a lot of attention after her surgery and general tightening up.

When done she’ll be painted Malachy Green on the bottom and coamings, Seattle Grey decks and Slate Grey inside the hull. All paints will be low gloss Kirby paints. And all are Sjogin colors.

We had Phil Heffernan, one of our imaginary friends, down last weekend for a visit. An inspection tour of Beaton’s is always on the list. He’s starting a Blog that should be photo rich as Phil’s a Professional.
It was a delightful trip to Beaton’s, and did my heart good to see Sjogin and Speedwell in great condition and getting such good care!
Thanks for the hospitality!
The pleasue was all ours Phil. Next visit we can go for a sail.
