That’s the name John Brooks of Brooks Boat Designs has come up with for his version of Sjogin. He was among the designers contacted to produce building plans. His is a 19′ centerboard version, suitable for trailering. Here’s the link to the page on his Blog.
He’s a very talanted designer as you can see from his Somes Sound design, modeled on Herreshoff’s Buzzard Bay 12 1/2. The construction would be glued lap.
The name comes from a Norse coin found in Brooklin in 1978. John tells the story in his Blog post. Nice link between a Norse coin and a Swedish boat coming to America.
Here are a few preliminary sketches John was kind enough to send me:
…
This is the sloop rig, similar to the original.
…
And here’s the gaff rig. Nice and low with plenty of power to drive her. It may be my imagination but it looks like John drew both sail plans with the boat hove to.
…
Here’s the general layout. The cabin/cuddy is still being moved around to get it just right.
Seem’s this design might work as a Raid boat. With a couple of sweeps you could make good progress to weather. Hmmmm.
Julia and I are off to the Silent Maid Commissioning Party at Beaton’s. Pics soon.
