HOWB 043 – 52ʹ Ed Monk Bridgedeck Wooden Cruiser, Lloyd Shugart owner - Interview - 07.12.12

Two weeks ago I attended the Center for Wooden Boats 36th Annual Festival and interviewed Lloyd Shugart. Lloyd and his wife Theresa have owned “Flying Cloud” – a 52ʹ Ed Monk Sr. designed Bridgedeck Cruiser – since 2002. She was built in 1937 at the Grandy Shipyard on Lake Union in Seattle for Francis Brownell Jr. (president of First Seattle Bank), WA. When the Shugarts purchased her, she was in major disrepair and over the last 10 years they have completed most of the restoration.

Flying Cloud is powered by twin Perkins Diesels 6-354 and is planked with Port Orford Cedar over Oak frames. She is a beautifully designed and stately boat.

Listen to the full interview for all the details and find how Lloyd and Theresa have remained patient and persevered when their “3/30 Plan” failed.
