Variation on a Theme

Hull #2 of The Bogy is nearing completion as fellow designer, Neville Cork, is finishing up the body work on his ideas of the deck layout. The rear sugar scoop extends much further forward than mine and his hatch opening is longer but narrower too – I’m looking forward to seeing his final thoughts with regards to control lines and he’s apparently got some trick for sealing the hatch that I can’t quite make out in this photo.
Neville had previously designed a skiff-style US1M that he brought out and we did some sailing against on Saturday. These two boats were very different in design philosophy so it wasn’t a refined “test” but the Bogy clearly had a performance advantage. I look forward to getting it up against some other US1M boats. In an unusual departure from standard, I didn’t take my camera along and only had a camera phone. Here’s the only sailing photo for the day, which inconsequently, also shows a dragon fly on my head.
