Judy D Jensen, A Classic Boat
beken of cowes 1910
Bloodhound, William Fife II, 1910William 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 FrameFirst we make a wire frame of the basic hull shape.
Rig and KeelThe next step, necessary to determine placements of the interior structure, is to add rig and keel and rudder.

Judy and Her New Pillow
Judy recovered several of our tatty pillows. I like the pattern and color of this one.

Next day we went to the gym and saw these girls lounging on the couch. Must have been too early for them.
Nice Park in San Pancho
San Pancho (also known as San Francisco) is a nice place for lunch, although our favorite BBQ place was closed.

Rain in the Marina
We've had a lot of rain this year, and I actually love this type of weather; it must remind me of some cruising destinations I loved.

Bloodhound
This photo of the William Fife II designed 1870 Racing Cutter, Bloodhound, was on the wall on a restaurant in Ao Chalong, Thailand, in 2009 and it has been in my mind for all those years since. Now I am working on a design for a replica. I'll share with you it soon.
