The sloop "JoJo P"

[big tim]

Here is a picture of my new project with her namesake standing beside her.This will be at least a 2 year project as she (the boat) needs re-powered, and complete interior re-fit, a bottom paint job, some deck work, standing rigging gone over and probably replaced, new canvas work and last but not least new instrumentation.

The first sub-project will be to build a Stimson Shed so work can progress through the winter.

Here's a link to a video of how one such shed made it through Hurricane Irene.

Pretty impressive.

Very nice, Rick.
Is that a Morgan? I've always liked the center cockpit, providing of course that the boat is big enough. And yours certainly is. When was she launched. You will indeed be busy with her for a while all the more reason to have her inside. Is that the original gell coat on the topsides?
How about the bottom, any evidence of blisters.
I had a Hughes 40 Center Cockpit Ketch for 27 years eventually sold her in 2008. She was getting a bit too much too handle for the two of us at our advancing age. Still miss the sailing though every now and then.
If you are interested you can see some pictures of her on this website. My grandson put the site together for me when I was selling her.

Wishing you good luck and perseverance!

I think the major issue with the shed is where to get 16' 1x3s. Pics there will be.

Our local box stores carry that. Any real lumber yard should also have it.

YMMV but in my neck of the woods they have these at the BORG

You can also check out millwork places as they probably have access to lengths like that for molding production.

The bow shed looks like a really cool project to kick of the major work you have in store. Don't forget to share pics of that with us!!

Great project, and a nice starting point. The photo is interesting from a car nut point of view as well... Is that a Citroen DS in the background just behind the bow of the boat?

I know it is a Citroen. Other than that I know nothing. The "Red Lion Yacht Club" is in the parking lot of a friend's metal fab business.
