Here’s a quick update on two of the boats-in-progress that we’ve been monitoring at the renowned Brooklin Boat Yard. It’s a pleasure to see expert craftsmanship making something elegant and grand out of so many rough and functional parts.
DYLAN, shown above, has been moved from the main shop to the paint shop, where she can be sanded and have details worked on simultaneously. As you know, she’ll be an Eggemoggin 47+ (47’6” overall) type racing sailboat.
The powerful, unnamed 47’ (overall) Express Cruiser, shown below, remains in the main shop, where she’s looking more like her drawings every day. I bet there’ll be many a wonderful cruise in her.
