Went down to Beatons after work today to check on Sjogin. As I walked out on the dock Barnegat glided by after a sail on a beautiful October day. She’s a 1930’s Charles Mower design that’s been around the Bay for years. I did some work on her during my Beaton interlude.
If she looks like there’s a bit more freeboard then usual for a 1930’s design, it’s because there was an explosion on board in the 50’s. When the owner decided to rebuild he added a few extra planks to gain headroom. Comfy boat.
And yes, Sjogin’s doing fine. Her leaks seem to be diminishing and she’s drying out nicely inside. Waiting for new sail covers from Mark Beaton.
