\"Sjogin\"<\/a>
\nClick for a larger version.<\/p>\n

Sjogin <\/em>is a small traditional Scandinavian workboat (I assume that she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a koster type) that we sail on the north end of Barnegat Bay in New Jersey. We keep her in an old fashioned boat yard, David Beaton and Sons in West Mantoloking, near our home.<\/p>\n

She seems to be modeled on a typical clinker (lapstrake) Swedish inshore fishing boat and not one of the more refined carvel types. Sjogin <\/em> is 22\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 LOA, 8\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 6″ Beam and draws about 2\u00e2\u20ac\u21229\u00e2\u20ac\u2122\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. She has a long shallow keel. Also she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s never had an engine. I carry a sweep to scull when needed but otherwise use whatever wind\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s available to get in and out of her slip. You can see lots of photos at my Flickr<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

As far as we know, Sjogin <\/em> was built in Southern NJ in 1961 by a gentlemen named Gullen. We have no further details of her builder or designer. While she has workboat roots, her proportions and details suggest she was drawn by a well practiced eye. If any of you can help identify the designer I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d be most grateful. I thought she might be designed by Murray Peterson but his son Bill thought not.<\/p>\n

I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t sail very far from the boat yard, mostly content to sail near the local marshes and heave to and read. Sjogin <\/em>has a great ability to heave to. When on the wind you can remove the tiller, leaving the jib sheet set, and she will come about and settle on the opposite tack for as long as you wish. Or until you run out of Bay!<\/p>\n

I keep her in commission all year long as the off season sailing is a lot better with the absence of Cigarette boats and jet skis which have ruined sailing on Summer weekends in these parts. Some of my favorite sailing is in the off-Season when the only company on the bay are Buffleheads and Mergansers. She has a small woodstove on board that came from Navigator Stove Works. There are some photos on their web site here: http:\/\/www.marinestove.com\/installation_views.htm Scroll down to #10. She was also featured in the November 2004 issue of Classic Boat on marine solid fuel stoves and the January 2008 issue of WoodenBoat.<\/p>\n

Here is the First Post<\/a> I made on the WoodenBoat Forum, describing her vital numbers and seeking help in identifying her designer or type.<\/p>\n

Here’s a collection of Sjogin <\/em> photos I’ve posted here or are found on my Flickr<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

\"Waiting\"
\nTopping lift set up which takes the drive out of the main. Sitting quietly, waiting for crew.<\/p>\n

\"Sardine\"
\nThe Sardine wood stove. Sjogin’s <\/em>heart for these last six years.<\/p>\n

\"Winter
\nWinter position, bow to the northeast. With the chimney on the lee side for a westerly breeze the stove will draw better.<\/p>\n

\"Kirby\"
\nLove the new Kirby paint. Low luster helps hide the scars. Fresh for her Summer makeover 2006.<\/p>\n

\"Reaching\"
\nReaching for Swan Point on Thanksgiving weekend 2006.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nHove to. Note the simple tackle for the main halyard. Classic 15th century technology supplies a two to one advantage.<\/p>\n

\nThe view forward. The sweep is used to scull when the wind doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t serve.<\/p>\n
