Sjogin is a 22' Swedish Koster fishing workboat design. She was built in 1961 in southern New Jersey. Double ended, lapstrake hull, shallow keel. And a lovely little woodstove, the Navigator
Sardine. No engine, never had one, Russ uses a sweep when necessary.
An interesting connection arose between Russ and I during the course of our communication. My friend Jasper, who owns Josie (see earlier posts) had for years a cottage in Bay Head and was fortunate enough to crew on Ghost, one of the Beaton built A Cats. Turns out Russ had taken a sabbatical to help Tom Beaton and Paul Smith build Ghost, and campaigned another of these impressive boats, Wasp, with Tom for five years.
I suspect you'll hear more about Sjogin and Russ, Tom and Beaton's in the future. Stay tuned, and in the meantime, enjoy Russ's weblog, Hove to off Swan's Point.

Love that wood stove!!!
I can see why it caught your eye. Very nice boat. I too love that stove. How about those sails!
How about the Pusser Rum mug! I have a identical one. The boat, sails and stove are all gorgeous! No wonder we love to sail!!
I loved the book-rack in the small cabin. and of course all the rest is stunning!
Thanks,
Peter
Well, that was Mr. Arpex - not Mrs. Arpex. The computer was logged in as... oh, never mind. Sorry.
