Front Street Shipyard’s owners are in- viting the Maine boating community as well as regional supporters and vendors to get an insider’s view of the new waterfront business in Belfast. On Saturday, July 2, the public is welcome to stop by the yard from 1:00 p.m. to 3 p.m. to enjoy a free barbecue lunch and tour the facility currently being renovated. The owners of Front Street Shipyard are hosting the event to thank the Belfast community for supporting the burgeoning business as con- struction and further waterfront develop- ment continue at the full-service marina and yacht facility.

The remote-controlled vessel-hoisting system will be the largest-capacity travelift in Maine, capable of launching and hauling superyachts up to 145 feet. The state-of-the- art machine, which will be on display for Open House attendees, will enable Front Street Shipyard to service larger vessels than most other boatyards in northern New England.
