from a WBF friend. Here are of couple of pics of Phil Heffernan’s visit this morning. As it turns out his Mother-in-Law’s home is just three blocks from mine. Very small (and flat) world. Gave him a garden tour and of course a visit to Sjogin and Beaton’s. Phil enjoyed seeing the Flatfish construction and seeing a boat halfway between plan and perfection.
No sail today as we’re having a hot, gusty southwester.
Phil and the new Flatfish
Phil down below on Sjogin reading from Atkin’s The Book of Boats. I thought there was an article about or drawing of Dove, one of Phil and Joe’s wonderful boats, but I couldn’t find it. She’s a 17′ Atkin Cat Ketch based on a dory type hull but with a long shallow keel. It will be interesting to see how she sails.
This is the sail plan of Dove from the Atkin site.
Here’s a pic of Dove along with the Bauer and Foster families.
