Lyman Moore: Positive Youth Development through Boat Building


The yacht BOUNTY having a new backbone put in at Rockport Marine in Rockport.


Compass Project of Portland Turns 10! If you are reading this, I would like to take a moment to thank you for your good deed nearly ten years ago. Yes I am talking about you, the selfless and forward-looking individual, whose anonymous gift of $5,000 made through the Maine Community Foundation, single-handedly launched the


very first Compass Project youth boat building program. In the fall of 2002, students from Portland High School and Spurwink Services worked together in the basement of the St. Lawrence Arts Center to successfully build and launch an Optimist Pram. What a long way we have come in the past ten years! We will celebrate our official birthday at the


Hillside Guide Service and Game Ranch "Home of Beede's Famous Hounds"


This semester, ELL “Newcomers” and native Maine students from Lyman Moore Middle School have teamed up to build an 8' rowing pram. Students meet once a week and will work together to build the Ruben’s Nymph, designed by Phil Bolger, and a set of spruce oars. We will modify this stitch and glue design to better suit the project for teaching the young boat builders how to safely and accurately: measure and mark, cut to the line, drill and drive screws and finish projects to a professional standard. The real substance of the program, however, will come from discussions and activities focusing on: forming healthy relationships, constructive use of time, patience, resiliency, and problem solving. Collaborative Problem Solving Compass Project staff and volunteers participate in a training with Deborah Cole from Spurwink.


On January 19th the boat shop staff, along with some of our volunteers, participated in a brief training on the principles behind Ross Green’s theory. The presentation was organized by Deborah Cole, who is the Functional Family Therapy Supervisor at Spurwink’s Evidenced Based Community Practices Division.


Collaborative Problem Solving is based on the thought that explosiveness or noncompliant behavior is a learning disability in the domain of flexibility and

frustration tolerance. Social behaviors do not develop naturally in children, rather they are skills that need to be learned. Essentially, the thought is that kids would want to solve problems if they knew how. We learned how to assess the potential pathways that may be keeping a student from solving a problem. We also learned how to work effectively with our students to help them learn these problem solving skills. We appreciated the new perspective on these issues that do sometimes arise during classes and have definitely gained new skills that are applicable not only here at the shop but in many other situations they may encounter. Thank you Deb! Core Sound 17 Update


We are moving right along on the Core Sound 17. The biggest achievements are getting the centerboard trunk glued in and getting the tops of the seats dryfit. The seat tops will be glued to the side tanks, we sealed the interior of the lockers with epoxy, and cut out reinforcements. These lockers will be storage and will only be accessible by hatch. Also, we ran PVC piping in the port side lockers for wiring electronics, e.g. running lights or a depth finder. The mahogany thwart has been installed and will get varnished next week.


Our next steps include permanently installing the seat tops, working on the top of the centerboard trunk and we still have to start on the aluminum masts as well as wooden spars. We also need to work on the deck framing to reinforce the decks. Wish List
