A 29-foot Fortier will be in to have her topsides redone. Other work will include re- doing all the teak and varnish work. Another project will be replacing all the non-stainless steel metal with stainless steel.
They have two or three repowers on sailboats this winter to do. One of these is on a 39 foot Pacific Seacraft/Crealock. She will also have her teak and the cabin sole redone, some glass and varnish work will also be done before spring.
They also have a 42 foot Egg Harbor coming in to have her flybridge rewired. Another Egg Harbor, a 1959 34-footer, will be in to be totally painted.
There are still eight or nine boats left to haul and stored for the winter. There are also several others that will be hauled and shipped to their owner’s homes.
Samoset Boat Works is a really busy. They are presently laying up large composite parts which will take them a while to complete. Presently they have seven employees and they are also thinking of putting up another building.
Rocknaks in Rockport is nearing completion on their newest building, which is right on Route 1. This 5,000 square-foot building looks like a wooden structure, but is actually metal. The building has 20 foot ceil- ings and even though not totally complete, it is already is full.
They store approximately 40 boats in- side and a number of others outside. Right

As for winter work, a Rhodes Reliant 41 will be in to be completely revarnished. They have two small boats to be re-
powering.
As for the rest of the work, the 60 storage customers will fill in the remaining time.

During World War II she was seized by the Germans, used as a patrol boat and amazingly she survived being scuttled in a French harbor and not raised for several years. After she was salvaged she was re-rigged as a ketch. I remember her at Newport harbor in Rhode Island when she was ISABELLE and owned by Steve Vaitses. He owned her for a lot of years before selling her a few years ago. After months and months of work she is nearing completion and they plan to launch year this coming year. Pres- ently they are putting in the systems, redoing her spars, refinishing the deck houses and refinishing and installing the raised panel interior.
The L. Francis Herreshoff 55-foot BOUNTY will be arriving at the yard by a truck around the first of December. She was re-
