Brion Reiff, Boatbuilder in Brooklin has hulls #2 and #3 of the Alerion 26 done. He is still planning to begin #4 on spec since there has been a number of people talking to him about having one.
The stations and some of the cold moulded skins are on a 42-foot cruising cutter, designed by Reiff. They just started working on the first inner layer of the hull, which is the first of four layers. They will be done with the hull the end of summer and then they will start on the interior. A 22-foot centre-console launch was in this spring due to engine trouble. They dropped the oil pan and discovered that a bolt from a main bearing had been sheared off. The bought a long block, made the necessary repairs and launched her.
Atlantic Boat in Brooklin has been busy over the winter. They have had a couple of building projects, but most of the work has been storage and repair. They also made some changes to the yard, which made the site more functional and better looking. One of the new boats is a Duffy 35 being finished out as a sportfisherman for a customer from Seattle, Washington. For accommodations she has a V-berth, head and small galley. Up in the shelter is a salon, settee, dinette and fishing tackle cabinet. She is powered with a 575-hp Caterpillar diesel.
Another new boat under construction this winter was a Duffy 31, which was
stretched to 33 feet. She has a basic interior with a V-berth, head and settee up There will be a small galley, but it unclear whether this will be up or down.
A BHM 25 was in to be repowered with a 180-hp Yanmar diesel.
There were 80 boats stored at the yard last year and this created much of their work over the winter and into the spring.
S. W. Boat Works in Lamoine has a repair project out in the yard to do. She is a Calvin Beal 38 lobster boat with damage to her bow, windows, steam head and antennas. She should be over the middle of July.
A Calvin Beal 36 is in after she argued with a ledge. She is having her skeg rebuilt and will take less than two weeks to complete.
In the shop is a Calvin Beal 38, being finished out as a yacht. She is about fifty percent finished and presently they are working on spray gel-coat on the interior. They are also in the process of laying up another Calvin Beal 38 hull and deck, which they are doing on spec.
Stuart Workman also said that he is going to build a new storage building across the street from his present shop. The building will be 46 x 60 feet and will have two bays, one of which will be used for lay-up. This building should be started in July and completed by November.
