One of the busiest yards always is Johanson Boat Works in West Rockport. Their big project this winter has been restor- ing a Bunker & Ellis 42. The hull needed some minor work. They fastened the bolts in the stem, and replaced several frames and planks. There were deck issues and they replaced a number of frames. They also raised the house five inches and built a new house and shelter. Presently they are rebuilding the bulkhead and dash and the platform. The new platform is being constructed with Nyda core with a teak deck on top. They also installed two new Yanmar 180-hp diesels with Aquadrive shaft units.

Atlantic Boat in Brooklin is under new ownership and some changes are being made.


Just after the new owner purchased the company they sold two boats. One was an Atlantic 35, which is being finished as a sportfisherman for a customer from Seattle, Washington.

Atlantic Boat is doing more storage and repair and they have a couple of big projects this winter. In for repairs is a Hunter 40, which suffered some keel damage after hitting the bottom.

Sumner High School has their frames done and are starting to install the moulds. Mount Desert High School, George Stevens Academy and Washington Academy will start their boats the last week of January. Another skiff was ordered by Peekskill, New York. Two other high schools are consider- ing building the St. Ayles skiffs.


Great Harbor Boat Works in Manset has removed the hardware on a 37 foot wooden powerboat, which they built several years ago. They are redoing the varnish and paint.
