to Halifax Classic. This annual race is de- signed for heavily crewed boats. Paris and KIWI SPIRIT double-handed this race and were pleased with the outcome. “Some have as many as 16 crew members on board, and those that came in before us had on average some eight to twelve crew members,” said Paris. “So we did very well with just two of us to come in 14th place. The next boat with only two crew members is yet to fi nish, eight hours after we fi nished. Since then KIWI SPIRIT has been at
Lyman-Morse to prepare for the circumnav- igation. She has had her insides cleaned out, resulting in more space to handle sails and gear and just as importantly, to reduce her
weight by several hundred pounds. Beds, toilets, pots and pans, clothing, drawers and doors are all going into storage. The mast and rigging have been removed and inspect- ed for wear and tear. So was the keel and the sails. Another round of sea trials will take place and then Paris will sail to St. Augustine arriving mid-October. In those last six weeks before departure, Paris plans to sail about three to four days a week to practice different maneuvers and techniques. With ten days to go Paris will provision the boat and host several receptions for those who wish to see the boat in its “battle” confi guration. Thanksgiving weekend, Paris will leave on Saturday, November 30th on the high tide at 4:00pm. For More Info go to

Rockport Marine in Rockport was hoping for a Labor Day launch on the new boat that they have been building. She is a 36 footer design by Ted Fontaine. However, the launch was delayed when the rig arrived and it was found that the rigging was too short. There was also still minor joiner work to do and then lots of paint and varnish. DYON, a 1924 Luders, has been 90 years in the same family. She and will be receiving a new engine, a Yanmar diesel, deck work, rebedding deck hardware and repairs to the cockpit.
Going Coastal: Humor, Parody, and Amusement
of a Maritime Nature Exhibit opens Saturday, October 25
Going Coastal looks at how we have enjoyed our- selves on, alongside, and at the expense of the maritime world. It traces the transformation of maritime amusements from shipboard traditions to sailor stereotypes and nautical nonsense ashore.
On view through June 1, 2014 Sponsored by:
THUNDERHEAD, designed by Phil Rhodes, was recently sold and her new own- ers are having some work done before she heads to South Africa. Workers at the yard will be going through the entire boat making sure everything is working properly. ZIPPER, is from the Antique Boat Museum at Clayton, New York. She was designed by Purdy and is in to have her bottom repaired, which will include fl oors, frames and planks as needed. This project will start in October.
Clark Island Boat Works in St.
George has several projects underway. In the main shop is an Atlantic 42, which was lengthened to 46 feet. She is being fi n- ished off as a lobster boat for a fi sherman from Vinalhaven. She will be powered with 1000 hp C18 Caterpillar diesel. Down below she will have a V-berth, rope locker and workbench. Under the platform she will sport twin 300 gallon fuel tanks as well as lobster tankage. She will be done this spring. A Holland 38 is coming in to be fi nished

off as a dressed up lobster boat for a customer for Marblehead. This hull should be arriving soon and she will be launched next spring. A 28 foot Muscle Ridge is being modi-
fi ed for a customer from Martha’s Vineyard. She was sitting in the yard with a for-sale sign on her and she was sold. They are mak-
ing minor changes which includes changing her over from outboard to an inboard engine. The outboards are being replacing with a 220-hp Yanmar diesel engine. She will be done this fall.
There is certainly a lot going on at Front Street Shipyard in Belfast.
The new 485 ton hoist is in place and has already hauled several boats. The parts and pieces began arriving in early August and the shore crew at the yard began putting it together. In early September they tested the hoist with a 600-ton barge from Prock Marine.
One of the fi rst boats hauled out on the new lift was the 90 foot TUMBLEHOME, which will be worked on this winter. The 92 foot Palmer Johnson sailing yacht SUNDAY MORNING is back for some minor additional work. A 126 foot Feadship is in the bottom work and usual maintenance before heading south for the winter. A catamaran was in and they built her new dagger boards out of carbon fi ber. ACADIA, an 84 footer that was built
at Lyman Morse, is in for a total refi t, which will take about six or seven weeks to complete. One of the major aspects of this project will be interior carpentry work. They will also be adding AC, new electronics, and gyro Seakeepers. All for her new owner. TABASCO, a 76 foot Baltic, is almost complete. She had extensive systems and plumbing work done along with her regular fall maintenance before she heads south for the winter. A Reichel Pugh 62, built of carbon at
Lyman Morse, is in for engine work, batter- ies and electronic upgrade. A 44 foot sailboat which was T-boned in Southwest Harbor is in for a lot of glass work, a new cap rail and dodger. A Northern Bay 38, which suffered keel damage, has been repaired. The yard fabricated a new keel and part of the hull. One of the big projects this winter is
