Here’s a visual update of DYLAN being expertly crafted as of Wednesday. She’s still in the Brooklin Boat Yard paint shop, where work continues throughout her. As you may know from reading these or BBY’s posts, DYLAN is to be part of a matched pair of exquisite BBY-designed-and-built Eggemoggin 47+s (which have a 47’ 6” overall length). These are among the most stylish of high performance racing sailboats.
DYLAN’s sistership, HARPER, was launched by BBY in 2023 and was returned this year to get updates that would match the emerging DYLAN’s state-of-the-art equipment. That may have been accomplished already; HARPER was back in the water on Tuesday:
Both E-47+s are what have become known as “spirit-of-tradition” sailboats that maintain the classic grace of traditional sailboats while embodying the latest technology that takes sailing to new levels of speed, maneuverability and pleasure.
