The 37 foot PROMISE, which they fin- ished two years ago, was back to have them repair the swim platform. They also finished up some small projects her owners wanted done. She has left and returned to her homeport, Mattapoisett, Massachusetts.

Her accom- modations include a berth, head and vanity, and a table with flag storage. She is a three- quarter walkaround which has two steps on each side amidships for greater access. With her bow rail one would have to try to fall overboard. All the aluminum railings and ladder were done by Nautilus Marine in Tren- ton and the rest of the metal work was done by Esposito of Surry. This boat is powered with a 315 hp Yanmar diesel. She will be done mid-June.

A 38 Calvin built in 2003 has been sold and is heading to Buck’s Harbor. They re- moved her stern, painted the hull with Imron and added a sliding door in her winter back. They did a refit on a 36 foot H&H from Gouldsboro. They re-gel coated the hull un- der the wash boards, put on a new top, replaced handrail and coppered the bottom. A 40 RP from Milbridge was in and had her decks re-gel coated, replaced her wash- boards, put Philly clad on the deck, re-did the engine box, and repaired a soft spot in the deck.
A 42 foot H&H was into be re-powered. They also did glasswork which included cut- ting apart the house to get the engine out. They then painted her bottom, redid her ex- haust system and bilge alarms, added a new heater and replaced all the lines.
