Sjogin progress and G-Boat activity

at Beaton’s today. I started on the rail repair, finding a precut piece of cedar scrap or two that just fit. Beatons’ are working on restoring Sneakbox Number 1, so lots of off-cuts.

While working on Sjogin this morning, Michael Fortenbaugh and the G-Boat entourage arrived. He had a few friends and members all for an introduction to sailing these great old boats. They all went out and back a half dozen times, some captured below.

Tomorrow I expect to take one of the G-Boats out with friend and MSC member, Nelson Garcez.

Enjoy your Labor Day Weekend all…

Dutchmen
Ready to start fitting the dutchmen. When fit close enough with a dollop of thickened epoxy, it will see the rub rail through the winter.

Getting ready
First group of G-Boaters getting ready to leave.

Reaching in
Reaching in for another crew swap. Nice to see these venerable old boats being restored and used.

Luffing up to the dock
Good landing.

More tomorrow.
