The indefatigable Rod Brink has brought forth another version of Sjogin. After Paul Gartside did a fine job with the building (and dreaming) plans for a replica of Sjogin, Rod convinced him there was a market for a smaller, trailerable version. So here we have Sjogin III, as published in the current issue of Watercraft Magazine. She’s 19′ LOA, with a hefty 8′ Beam. Very shallow draft at 1′ with a Centerboard draft of 4′ 2″. There’s an ingenious outboard bracket tucked away for a clean look under sail. Plans are $50 from the Gartside Sjogin III page.

Hopefully the new version won’t need a pump.

Here’s an image of the Sail plan. What joy. Let a thousand Sjogins sail.

Here’s a pic of your Very Happy Skipper at Brunch on Friday. A nice SE breeze and a northerly current allowed a very slow sail over the bottom off Mantoloking

The deck work continues on Myth. Paul Smith is doing this exacting job. The seams will be caulked with a decidedly not sticky compound.
…
The Maid’s back in and looking especially fine this year. Note the fore hatch that matches the deck crown in both directions.

Good, because ‘Maid’ was looking a little ratty.
Russ, if you don’t finish your brunch, you can’t have any pudding.
How can you have any pudding if you don’t finish your brunch?
russ-ever approach tommy about building one of the smaller versions? bet it would be very saleable as an excellent day sailor for Barnegat bay…and beaton built to boot. his rowboats did well. good pics by the way. that deck and hatch work is incredible. definately an art.
I’ll walk over now and ask. Perhaps a Syndicate could be formed.
The Pudding was fine as well Dave.
I also hear that the Maid will be silent again this year…no iron wind.
Will Barnegat be the Chase Boat again? Is she staying on the Bay?
The Maid will be towed up to Newport, then on to Mystic for the Wooden Boat Show, perhaps a race or two will evolve between Tim Fallon’s cat and the Maid. A re-launch ceremony for the Maid is scheduled for May 19.
