There’s a new boat on Francois Vivier’s web site. She’s called the Norzh 22 and is based on Sjogin as mentioned below. Details here.
This is the PDF available from the Norzh 22 page:
Pretty close. As you’ll see in a bit, the Garvey is ready for service. I’ll ask Tom to use it to help take some measurements of Sjogin’s sheer and other reference points so Mr. Vivier can refine his first drafts.
I hope that he can keep her low topsides. It always seems your going fast when the quarter wave is close at hand.
…
A full shop at Beaton’s. A Blackjack Skiff awaits attention while a pair of rowboats are nearing completion. Great smell of fresh Atlantic White Cedar. The trimmings make for great kindling.
…
First class cedar being put to good use. Beaton’s is building three of these this Winter.
…
A sure sign of Spring as the Garvey gets a fresh coat of bottom paint. It will be easier to use the Garvey to measure the sheer heights on Sjogin than from a dinghy.
Russ,
It’s a honor to have a man of Monsieur Vivier’s reputation to be so enthusiastic about your boat. A true testament to Sjogin!
Congratulations!

Michael,
I am indeed honored and thrilled to have Francois’ interest in developing Sjogin’s close cousin. A few other designers of note have reacted positively to Rod’s solicitaion.
I just visited your Blog again an was impressed with the Dory project. I’ll put up a link to your site.
Best,
Russ
I would like one, please
