Bloodhound, William Fife II, 1910

William Fife designed this boat in 1870. It was competitive for several decades. Beken of Cowes shot this photo in 1910. I saw it on a wall in a Bar in Phuket, Thailand, in 2009. I've been thinking about it ever since.

We decided to do a modern design of that vessel and I'd name it Judy D Jensen. A classic boat named for a classic woman.

Wire Frame

First we make a wire frame of the basic hull shape.

Rig and Keel

The next step, necessary to determine placements of the interior structure, is to add rig and keel and rudder.

More Interior Parts

Then we start adding interior

Changing the Interior

We moved the Salon and cockpit aft 4 feet after getting a feel for the interior spaces. It opened up the salon.

Deckhouse added

Photo Mock Up-Judy D Jensen under Sail

We hacked together a few photos and Photoshopped it until we had this mock up. Still not complete but it gives the idea.
