Neoga II is a 52 foot double headsail sloop launched at Seattle WA in 1941. Designed by Ben Seaborn and built by Blanchard Boatworks for the Pier brothers, also of Seattle, she is a one of a kind beauty from a bygone era.
Norm Blanchard’s book Knee Deep in Shavings devotes a chapter to the Pier brothers and spends several pages talking about Neoga II.
A half hull model can be viewed at the Center for Wooden Boats in Seattle, WA.

During the winter of 2004/2005, the hull was taken down to bare wood and was refaired and repainted. The cabin sides were taken down to bare wood as well and have been completely refinished. All other external varnish (including mast and boom) is getting several new coats.
