21 ft Koster Boat 'Sjogin' Design #176
The plans for this small double ender were drawn for a group of enthusiasts organised over the internet by Rod Brink of Fargo, Texas. The hull lines are those of the Norwegian Koster boat 'Sjogin' owned by Russ Manheimer of Manasquan, New Jersey. It was from Russ's measurements that these plans were made, modified somewhat and drawn up with a choice of three construction methods and four rigs. It is a sweet boat with weekend accommodation that will appeal to the traditionalist regardless of the construction method chosen.

Description
Considered a Norwegian Koster boat, Sjogin (pronounced So gin, accent on So) origins are unclear, and no building plans were available. Owner Russ Manheimer and friends took the lines off Sjogin as several people were very interested in building this pretty boat. Word spread because of Russ's enticing blog "Hove-to Off Swan's Point" as well as frequent contributions on our WoodenBoat Forum. They approached Paul Gartside, and the results are a beautifully drawn set (12 sheets!) of plans. A lot of folks seem to feel this boat is "about right" and we expect to see more come to life. For more of her story, see WoodenBoat 247. That's Sjogin and Russ on the cover.
LOA: 21' 5" LWL: 19' 1" Beam: 8' 6" Draft: 2' 11" Ballast: 1150 lbs Displacement: 4170 lbs Sail area: 214-245, depending on rig... several rig options Building Skill: Advanced Construction: glued lap ply, tradtional lapstrake (clinker), or cold-molded

| Sojourn, a Sjogin IIIa
| ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| It is winter, work in the boat shed is limited (cold!) so I'm looking for projects to do in my heated shop. I glued up some black locust and started carving the bowsprit. Felt good to making shavings even though I won't be needing it for a while. | ||||
Another winter project and a part that I won't need for a bit is the rudder. I opted for VG Doug Fir, rather than plywood, stronger and more fun to work with. I ripped it and alternated the strips. Then got after it with a power planer and 40grit beltsander...fun! Aft end will be tapered, fwd, rounded over, then glassed. I'm letting the top stay wild for now. It's another stray from Paul's plans as he had a drop down but I'm opting for simplicity and no moving parts. We'll see.... | ||||
Bridge deck bulkhead, fitted. I'm using 3/4" marine DF ply, covered with epoxy and 4oz glass to keep from checking. to see how it will be attached.
| ||||
Rudder sort of in place. I can see it needs more shaping. I calculate it at 15% of the lateral area with 10% being ideal so it can be trimmed some. Won't find out for many moons how it will work.
| ||||
Working on the hatches, hopefully watertight, for the forward bulkhead. Paul doesn't think watertight compartments are needed in this size boat. David does, so I'll put a couple in, can only help, plus I've never built them before. I routed a rabbit to fit a rubber gasket. While there are more elegant ways to seal I opted for simple black locust dogs to keep the water on the other side...if needed. There are 2 hatches as there will be a sampson post in the middle. | ||||
First 2 deck beams are installed aft, with a king plank. Need to get better at mortising and fitting the beams! The aft bulkhead is tacked in place. It will (should) be watertight and have a gasketed access plate. Waiting for warmer temps to continue. | ||||
|
Watertight bulkheads installed fore and aft, inside epoxied, primed and painted. Won't be having much access to those areas once the deck is on. All of the floors are installed, lag bolted and filleted. Most of the main cabin bulkhead is fitted along with the bridge deck. I've been messing around with a cabin side mock up, it's going to be snug. I plan to glass and epoxy the bilge. This part is not a lot of fun. | ||||
Fitting a cabin on what was designed as an open daysailer is yet another challenge that I've done to myself. Here is a very crude mock up. I can just fit sitting, while Susan has plenty of room. I will add an inch to the camber and hope it doesn't look too boxy. I will epoxy, glass, prime and paint the main cabin bulkhead. It will get installed after the interior has been epoxied. | ||||
Let the light in! These windows are a nice modification to the boatshed as that end was poorly lit. Mouse over for an interior view. All the frames are in, now the interior needs to be sanded, again, the bilge glassed and the entire interior epoxied. I'm waiting on the bilge keels before installing the bulkheads. | ||||
Spring is here and with stay at home pandemic restrictions there in no excuse not to make progress. Here the interior has 2 coats of epoxy, stbd side primed, bilge fiberglassed (10oz) and one coat of epoxy bilge paint. | ||||
| Here's something you don't see much on this side of the Atlantic, a bilge keel. It's being welded by Jeb Bush. I had him bend a curve to the inner face, the outer will be flat. The cavity will be filled with lead. He has tapered the 1" steel end plate. A top plate bent to hull camber is next and then a lot of fairing. | ||||
May not look like it but a lot going on here. First the deck beam, 2 1/2x3 laminated BL is in place. Knees will tie it to the frames below. Toward the stern, seat risers were wrestled in place. It took some head scratching and force to get those installed. Not pretty but should be functional. The box at the aft bulkhead holds the outboard bracket which pulls out. Adding that watertight bulkhead meant the seating had to be redesigned. I'm waiting on the bilge keels before continuing with that project. . | ||||
| The bilge keels arrived! Jeb did a real nice job. I surprised myself by getting one dry fitted and it did fit! It took a lot of raising and lowering the hull, digging a hole in shed floor to fit the jack (another good reason to have a dirt floor) and nudging the 200# keel to line up the bolt holes. | ||||
Forward deck beams and kingplank fitted, hanging knees, 2 each side, 3/4 marine ply, glassed. bronze chainplaates installed. Those beams are actually the second set as I ran into another amateur goof up. Don't ask. But that is a moaning chair which was well used yesterday. | ||||
Bilge keels back from being sandblasted, then primed with many coats of TotalBoat TotalProtect 2 part epoxy. I bought the cherry picker last year knowing I'd be loading/unloading/moving these hunks of steel and lead. I weighed the keels at the transfer station, 180# each. We has guesstimated #200. Since we are planning on 600# total ballast, I should be fine as I have another 300# I can use internally.
| ||||
Finally got one on the boat! I was about to give up, lining 10 bolt holes while juggling the weight at weird angles with little clearance was pushing my limits. I was uncomfortable doing too much as these were rather essential to project. I called asking for help. He promptly showed the next day and said I was doing fine, try enlarging the holes then fill with epoxy. That did it, now one more to go and I can get back to building the rest of this boat. | ||||
| What to do when your workshop gets too messy. Since boatbuilidng and woodworking are a major part of my retired life I decided to invest in a new shop. It will be a 20x40 cedar clad Maine barn design. There will be a 12x8 greenhouse for Susan on the sunny side. While I'm very excited about it, it will slow down progress on the boat. | ||||
Finally got the keels installed, flooded the hull and got a 95% on the leak test, 1 of the 20 bolts leaked. I regooped that and hope that does it. I plan to get it on a trailer and do an in water test before winter this year. Here you can see the interior has been mostly painted and the cabin bulkhead installed. | ||||
Looking forward the bridge deck and cabin bulkheads are installed and I'm messing with the cockpit seating. Since I added a watertight bulkhead I have to allow access to it so there will be a removable section. I need to get my shop back in order to make the removable part. I'm using yellow birch for the seats, because I have it, and it was a common boat building wood used back when. I've sprung a batten to get a feel of what's ahead, cutting a 3" carlin, and eventually steaming wood for the coaming. | ||||
Finally got the carlin sawn and installed. 10 degree bevel for the coamings, -2 for the cabin sides. Installed the deck beams along the cabin, much easier than full width. And now working on the cabin mock up. After many alterations I'll probably go with how Paul drew the cabin for Sjogin II. | ||||
It's getting to be cabin time. Putting a cabin on what is supposed to be a 19' open daysailer is a challenge. But then again I've altered the plans so much... After several mock ups I think this is it. I just about have sitting room depending how I sit. Susan is fine. The 2 ports forward give a semblance to the real Sjogin. | ||||
More holes in the boat. At least these are above the WL. Holes are routed and rabbeted to fit the bronze The cabin sides will be doubled 3/8" marine ply and glassed. The front will be doubled 3/4" for added strength as the mast tabernacle will be affixed there. Decking and corner posts are next, some finicky joinery. | ||||
I'm starting at the bow, because it far away from the curved coaming at the other end! Also I need the decking so I can get the cabin sides installed and then mess with the corner posts. Much easier to paint the underside now. One coat of epoxy, primer, then Interlux Brightsides. These sections were butted over the king plank. | ||||
18, count 'em, beams, each with 3 compound bevel cuts. By the time I was half way done I had it about figured out. Soon enough the fun will really start with the bent coaming. Cabin sides epoxied in place, sides and front get doubled. Still have to make the corner posts, then figure out the top and hatch. | ||||
Cabin sides have been doubled, 2 3/4" ply, glassed, on the front, 3/8"+ 4 mm on the sides. Ports routed, corner posts roughed in, steamed beam over the aft bulkhead to help with cabin top. | ||||
| The lid is on, temporarily. 4mm Okoume is dry fitted and it did fit the camber with only a minimum of complaining. It will laminated with 3 layers, glassed inside for strength, Dynel outside. Now to build the jig for the laminating. | ||||
| It's really on, built as mentioned above. I did make it more of a challenge that it needed to be, but that's another story. Also annealed and bent the chainplates in place. | ||||
| With a cabin on this open daysailor, it now needed a sliding hatch. I discovered there are many ways to build one. After making several mock ups, this is what I built. (mouse over) | ||||

| is a sturdy, seaworthy daysailer that evolved as a smaller, trailerable version of the 22ft double-ender Sjogin II. Both carry the Scandinavian influence of the original Sjogin which is thought to be based on a Norwegian Koster boat. The plan set contains details of three construction methods, all of them suitable for a boat that may spent time out of the water in dry land storage. Construction: Cold molded, strip planked or glued clinker plywood. Plans are available from Paul Gartside. Sjogin III was in Watercraft Magazine #93 (May/June 2012) | |
The winter of 2013-14 turned into a record breaker for extreme cold and snowfall here in NJ. Since my workshop is unheated I retreated to my basement to build a model of Paul Gartside's Sjogin III. This is the leading contender for my next build after I get , the melonseed, completed...hopefully by this summer (2014). It is a 2"=1' scale using scrap wood that I milled in my very cold shop. I decided on the 2" scale because I should be able to mill the wood for that scale, plus I'm not a great model builder and with this scale I can hopefully get a better idea on how the parts are supposed to go together. The purpose of this is to get a feel for building the real boat and to experiment with a cuddy cabin. It might not be practical on this hull but I've seen small cabins put on Gartsides #93, by Dana Marlin and . Of course I'll paint it up to try to make it look like a boat. | |
Hove to off Swan Point
and sailing as slow as I can….
Category: On the Bay
Last sail of july.
After the quick sail shown in the YouTube video below, I sailed up to the dock in front of the south shed and tied off. I then proceeded to strip the halyards and sails and got her ready for her haul out. She’ll be in the big shed from tomorrow I suspect until sometime in mid to late August but then this is Beatons and Beatons time is different from everywhere else in the world. For which I am eternaly grateful. Stay safe all, it’s getting nasty out there again.
The video has us very slowly leaving Beaton’s to get past Swan Point. Then a Starboard tack heave to for lunch.
https://youtu.be/1wDms5DSPfE
Boat work tomorrow. Let’s see how much of my scrapping and sanding muscle memory remains.
Still here redux….
This video was prepared for the Virtual Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival last year. It’s a YouTube video and if you search YouTube you’ll find quite a few more SJOGIN videos. Enjoy and more news and pics here to come. (I promise!)
Slow sailing again and few boats looking Beaton Fresh
After a few week haul out for bottom and topsides paint, Sjogin is back where she belongs. A week or so of swelling has her as tight as she was before the haulout.  Which means that she always takes a bit of water as she’s just over sixty years old.
Here are two videos of a slow sail last week and a series of pics of recent launchings at Beaton’s, all looking ‘Beaton Fresh’.
So very grateful that I can do this and share with folks who enjoy seeing our very tiny adventures. Hope this provides a brief distraction from these difficult times. …
Even with a clean bottom and no other boat wakes there are times when even this slow sailor finds it necessary to break out the sculling oar. The no see ums found me at this point so it was time to resort to my ash breeze to travel the last hundred yards or so. …
Foamranger is an elderly Chris Craft skiff that’s been well cared for at Beatons for a long time. …
Myth looking ready for another season of sailing like it was done in the 1890’s She’s a replica of the original late 19th century catboat. …
Here’s Suzanne, the Beaton family boat. She was built in Maine to serve folks on an offshore island. …
One of the Beaton yard workers Patrick’s dinghy, ready for another season of messing about. This very able boat was built in fibreglass by Cape Cod Shipbuilding Company. Details here . …
This is Quest , a Watch Hill 15 built by Herreshoff in the 1920’s I believe. …
Legend is one of Charles Hankins skiffs. A very simple and handy boat for day cruising and such. …
I expect we’ll have some videos soon of Sjogin  sailing a bit faster then as shown above. Stay safe all and hold fast.
All the way to Reedy Creek
Managed to get out for a sail last week and made it Reedy Creek, all of a mile or so from Beaton’s. Once reached I hove too for an hour for lunch and more Tilman adventures near K2.
Here are a few pics and videos from the sail:
As far as I can tell, this is the only Osprey next on their preferred foundation. It’s just north of Reedy Creek.
Sailing past the Oyster Farm. The floats are attached to cages which are full of happy Oysters.
Here the cars are upside down and empty of Oysters. The farmers do this to dry and remove the usual growth of grasses and such.
The Sloop Point platform has a pair of young Osprey almost ready to fly.
Beating out of Jones Tide Pond with Juniors to weather.
The nest across Stockton Lake from us has three little ones with the largest itching to fly.
Beaton bits and a sailing video.
Here are a few pics of goings on at Beaton’s over the past few months. Spring has long sprung with the usual bustle at Beaton’s. The docks are getting full and the average water levels have reached ideal Sjogin conditions.
Serena , the Joel White Flatfish and the A-Cat Lightning looking Beaton Fresh.  Serena was built at Beaton’s a while ago. She’s a sistership to Charlotte , built by them in 2003. The building mold is in the yard and ready to go. They’re great daysailers with shallow draft. Give Tom a call.
The rebuilt foot of a very large catboat mast. This one will live again thanks to the attention of Paul Smith.
At the other end of the mast work at Beaton’s scale is Speedwell’s new mast foot. I had Paul remake the foot to match the existing Duckboat mast step. With the limited bury it will make the rig more secure.  It had a round foot that would allow the mast to rotate as spritsail did. This may give me a chance to setting up the sail as a lug. We’ll see.
New decking in front of the South Shed whose East wall still bears the sctatches and dings from Sandy. Our community will have them for a long time.
Once again WoodenBoat has seen fit to have me write an article for them. It’s in the May/June 2018 issue of WoodenBoat Magazine and tells the story of a boat that once again graces the waters of upper Barnegat Bay. There’s also a sidebar celebrating 54 years of Paul’s work at Beaton’s.
And here’s a video taken a few weeks ago just as the marsh was starting to green up. If you keep you focus narrow it’s easy to imagine what it was like a few hundred years ago. Hove to of course.
Recent Sjogin pics
And the first sail of this year and the bright, new Spring we are supposed to be having. Â Too dry and cold so far and little water in the Bay.
Sjogin has been taking up nicely with just a slow weep. Â She hasn’t been out in brisk winds yet but she seems as tight as ever. Â (Touch wood.)
Enjoy the pics.
Back at the dock after two missed attempts; one too fast and one to slow. The last one was just right. Â Need practice.
Back in her Summer position. Â A bit early but hope springs eternal…
A fine draw with the raised smoke head with far fewer puff backs.
Sjogin’s nod to the Modern Age. Â New Solar panel keeps the battery topped up. Â When on board it slips under the seat with no visible wires. Â Then its back to the 19th Century.
Recent read down below about sailing a 22′ Catboat sans engine in one of the finest but challenging cruising grounds anywhere. Â Mr. Cheney (not that one) and I have a similar sailing philosophy. Â He too sails slow.
Bosun’s work: making a strop to be used as the jib tack. Â Note the new bronze snap from the extensive legacy of a local legend. Â RIP Bad Bob.
New sounding lead salvaged by Paul. Â It works far better than a two inch square nut.
Well, here we are after another pause. Â The above pics had their captions removed and order changed with a dumb click on my part so you may find new details and a changed pic.
Trust some still enjoy this format. Â I seem to treat it as a monthly than as a more frequently updated Blog.
Under sail videos soon.
Mostly Beaton’s pics
Busy Winter in the wood shop. After Sjogin’s recent refit, the Hankins’ skiff Legend was brought in for the same treatment. There’s also the elegant rowing skiff awaitng return of the principals to salt water to continue her re-construction.
If you have a project, I’m sure Beaton’s could fit you in.
Here you go:
New tiller for Sjogin by Paul Smith. Bespoke indeed.
And a proper sounding lead for Sjogin from the collection of a local legend. Thanks Bob.
Here’s Paul tending to last seasons wear and tear on Myth bits.
Here’s Paul with Sjogin’s new/old boat hook. The natural Swamp Maple crook was carved by Phil Clarke in the 1970s. Long enough to sound my way around Barnegat Bay. No bottom, no problem.
Steaming cedar planks for the new rowing skiff.
The seemingly eternal search for fair enough.
Look familiar? It’s the job made form used to set the curve in Sjogin’s coaming.
Dave explaining the virtues of the new, larger bilge pump.
The new skiff . Plenty of twist forward.
Pleasant sheer. So this was fairly easy. Sjogin stuff soon.
If, for some reason you come here just for a glimpse of a beautiful boat and reasonably taken snaps of our particular place of Earth, then I’ll not disappoint. Â I’ve been at this now for more than a decade, reaching folks all over our watery world and now ask for your indulgence if one of the pics below makes reference to current events.
First up is one of Sjogin through a Prisma algorithm.
Given the right photo, the painterly effect works well.
A very shiny Lighting. Â Nice off season work.
Here’s another Prisma example. Â Some of the algorithms work better than others. Â I think this one is called Dallas.
Will we need to find a term to describe the time before that day and the time after? Â I hope not. Â Patience, good will and manners will see us through to remembering this past Election Day as just another one, a bit of a Black Swan, but none the less one of many more to come.
Your considered comments are welcome.
Sail slow America.
A Cats and a video
I see that once again I’ve managed to allow another month to go by without a Post. But then again here I am with another month’s sailing and having watches below at the dock under my belt. And a straining belt due to said watches below with sausage bread.
Anyway, here are a few recent A-Cat pics as the first races are but four quick weeks away.
And a video to close of a very quiet sail last Saturday, May 14. Surprisingly few boats out.
… Your very happy Skipper out on a beautiful Saturday morning in the middle of a too cool May.
This and that
Here are some pics from the last few months, especially Beaton’s pics.
More to come but I just realized it’s been a month since my last Post. Not much new, just the everyday joys of being able to go “check on the boat” and maybe squeeze in a quick sail or a watch below. Happy Spring all.

Re: Anyone building a Gartside Sjogin? I have been hoping to see someone post something also. I ordered the Sjogin plans but reality got in the way as I realized that I need to keep to trailerable boats for now. So my winter project was to get a Sjogin III model done, as that is the lead contender for my next build. I got the hull almost done ...
SJOGIN is a 22′ Koster boat model as far as I've been able to determine. Her knockabout sloop rig is common on the North Sea coast of Sweden. She was built of oak and cedar in southern New Jersey in 1962 by a retired square rigger captain. I've been told she was built to remind her Swedish builder of his homeland.Her true origins remain unknown as no plans survive.
Francois' Vivier is a noted Naval Architect, designing ships and boats over a long career from Supertankers to the traditional boats of his native Brittany. He played a key role in bringing out the best characteristics of the local fishing boats in designs that helped preserve the area's marine traditions but allowed modern building techniques.

About. This blog is mostly about sailing our traditional Swedish workboat on upper Barnegat Bay. My wife Julia and I live in New Jersey and keep Sjogin at David Beaton and Sons in West Mantoloking in New Jersey. See the Sjogin Page for more details and a plea for help in determining her provenance.
The 2 ports forward give a semblance to the real Sjogin. More holes in the boat. At least these are above the WL. Holes are routed and rabbeted to fit the bronze Duckworks ports. The cabin sides will be doubled 3/8" marine ply and glassed. The front will be doubled 3/4" for added strength as the mast tabernacle will be affixed there.
Russ Manheimer wrote with details of Sjogin and shame on me for not writing to Russ asking if we could include Sjogin earlier, having been a keen follower of his blog Hove to Off Swan Point. Russ writes - Sjogin is a 22 foot Koster boat near as I can tell. I started bloging in 2005 in an effort to discover Sjogin's roots.
