and zincs. An 84-footer was in for some bottom damage, which included fiberglass repairs and stabilizer replacements. A lot of transient work has kept the yard busy. Mostly minor jobs, but it keeps the cruiser happy when he does not lose much time on the water due to a breakdown.
John Williams, Boatbuilder of Hall Quarry had one of their Stanley 36s came in for some extensive work. She had been out on the Great Lakes and was used as a committee boat. She was set up like a lobster yacht and the new owner from Long Island, New York wanted an enclosed shelter and make her more comfortable. They are doing what they can, and she will be launched, enjoyed by her owner for the remaining summer months, and then come back for additional work. Over the last couple of months they were able to redo the pilothouse, add some furniture, mast and boom, galley, bow windlass, a shower was added along with an overboard discharge system, upgrade the wiring and battery sys- tem. In the fall they will put down a teak deck, add more space in the galley and full shore power.
At Bass Harbor Boat in Bernard they have BETH DESIRE up for some hull, drive train and trap sheathing work. She was scheduled to be back in the water early in July. JUST BITCHIN is in for a new stern post. The 36-foot Bunker & Ellis ADEQUATE is in for some rudder repair.
FROM AWAY
Harold Burnham in Essex, MA has been busy trying to finish up his newest boat. She is ARDELLE, which was designed by Harold Burnham and based on the pinky MAINE built in Essex in 1845. They started the pinky on 6 September and launched her 9 July. She is constructed of white oak, white pine and locust with sawn frames treenailed together. Presently they are fitting her out. Most of this work includes hooking up the mechanical and electrical, rigging, and spars. A lot of the gear for this vessel came from the pinky MAINE, which was built at Maine Maritime Museum in the 1980s. Burnham purchased her in 2006 and sailed her along the New England coast for several years. ARDELLE will operate out of the Gloucester Marine Heritage Center in Gloucester and will be used for research and educational purposes.
