The Onyx 41 by DeBasto Designs and Hodgdon Yachts. (See below). As a result of running aground, GRACE EGRETTA has been undergoing a major keel
repair at Royal River Boat. A six-foot section of the keel was cut out from the keel joint aft all the way up to the apex. Afterwards, a new piece of oak timber, six inches thick by eight inches tall, was scarfed in. The new piece was then thru-bolted using bronze rod. Next, a new worm shoe that goes the length of the boat will be installed. The worm shoe will increase in size from one and a half inches at the bow, to four inches at the aft end of the skeg. Sections of eight cedar
planks have also been replaced between the port and starboard side. (By Molly Dugas)
General Marine in Biddeford is nearing completion on a General Marine 36, which was lengthened two feet. She is being fi nished out as a pleasure cruiser for a customer from Nantucket. She is powered with a 700-hp V-12 Caterpillar diesel. They are presently working on her interior, which is all cherry and that is about 75 percent complete. Down below she has three offset berths with a head and shower and galley up in the shelter. She is going to be used for sportfi shing and has bait well, fi sh hold and tuna box. She will also have the ability to
make ice.

and is cold moulded. They also replaced the chain-plates and did her usual annual maintenance.

and fi tting it with LED lights on a Choey Lee sailboat; installing a solar charger on another boat; and making a repairs to a cockpit on a Channel Island Cutter.
They are getting ready to paint and varnish a Holland 38, which was fi nished out as a yacht a number of years ago. She was named MOXIE, but when sold she was renamed TROOPER, the owner having served in tanks in Iraq.
