Back Cove Yachts of Rockland will celebrate the launch of their 500th boat on 5 December.
developed by Dr. Paris for a fast and safe yacht to be sailed single-handed around the world, also taking into account his age. Ly- man-Morse was hired to build the yacht, and has poured in more than 44,000 labor hours over the last year to complete the project. “This is a great purpose-driven project and a real honor to have been chosen as the builder. All of us here at the yard are very excited to be taking part in a project such as this where we have been able to fl ex our capabilities.” said Drew Lyman. “It is also a real pleasure to work with someone like Stanley who has such a vision and mission.” The hull of Kiwi Spirit is built out of epoxy-infused carbon, E-glass and Kevlar with a thermo-core that is both stiff and lightweight. There is a hydraulic lifting keel which draws 14 feet, nine inches (down) for excellent upwind performance and eight feet, seven inches when the keel is up. There are four water ballast compartments to help counter the powerful rig and make the boat more comfortable in heavy air. An easy-to- manage sail plan has been incorporated, with all lines leading aft to the cockpit.
Paris intends for his solo circle of the globe to be entirely green; no hydrocarbons will be used whatsoever. No gas, propane or butane will be aboard during the circumnav- igation. Solar panels will line the deck and small hydro regenerators will be mounted under the vessel to bring power back to the boat. If he succeeds, Paris will become the fi rst person to ever circumnavigate the globe, non-stop using no hydrocarbons. For further information:
