EMMA & ANDREW, the most recent project at John’s Bay Boat Company, was launched last Saturday after eight months of building. Although the forty-four foot lobster boat follows the style of previous Kass boats, it does possess some unique qualities. Specifi cally, this boat was the fi rst of the boats built by John’s Bay Boat to include an aluminum stern extension. Likewise, a custom lobster tank was constructed for the boat. The lobster tank is not only equipped with a system to aerate the water for the lobsters, but it also features a crank up bottom. Due to the tank’s immense depth, about waist height on deck all the way to the bottom of the boat, the bottom of the tank is adjustable to facilitate easy retrieval of lobsters. Congratulations to owner Ben Weed and to John’s Bay Boat on another fantastic job done. (by Molly Dugas)

On deck, the open-air concept, semi-en- closed deck lounge opens dramatically to the outside world with a multiple-panel, sliding skylight roof. Integrated monolith- ic furniture runs nearly the full length of the available space, offering ample stylish seating and lounging.
Both interior and exterior furnishings are client-tailored luxury weather and stain-resistant fabrics from the Interiors Division of Loro Piana.
The concept of Onyx is not simply about style, it is also about execution. Exe- cution with standards befi tting the world of superyachts where the demand for quality is second to none. To achieve such a standard, Luiz turned to Hodgdon for the answer. With a nearly 200-year pedigree that includes some of the world’s fi nest superyachts and superyacht tenders, advanced composite expertise and the in-house engineering to transition design into production, Hodgdon rose to the top of the list easily. “Although not widely known, Hodgdon’s quality is amazing, truly fi rst class, which is our vision for Onyx, a perfect fi t”, says Luiz DeBasto of his choice of shipyard collaboration.
Onyx is expected to be built in very limited quantities for only the most discrim- inating of owners.
Lash Brothers in Friendship is staying busy with lots of repair work. In the shop was a Duffy 35, which was getting a new platform and some cosmetic work. CAROLINE, the 1960s runabout thought to have been built over on Vinal- haven, maybe by Gus Skoog, is back in the water. It was noted that she has been in Friendship’s harbor for about 40 years. Within the next several weeks a Wes- mac 46 hull will be arriving to be fi nished out as a lobster boat for a local fi sherman. Down below she will have bunks and a hydraulic room. As for the engine the owner still has not decided yet. She is scheduled to be done this winter. Wes Lash, who passed away this past
winter, was laid to rest out on Long Island, one of his favourite places in early July.
