The presentation will explore the life-long pursuit of a custom yacht model builder, the importance of technology, and the role yacht models have to family and maritime heritage.


Rob reviews seven decades of accom- plishments, experiences and travels along with the pitfalls and humor that go along with this independent lifestyle. Two recent projects will be reviewed,


NORTHERN CROWN, an Aage Nielsen design from the 1950s and TENACIOUS a 1990s 120-foot Hood Design Group yacht currently underway at our shop.


Northeast Boats in Northport has been busy this winter.


During the real cold part of winter they


headed to South Carolina and worked on the schooner VENTURE II. They did some wood repair as needed and then cosmetics and were able to get two coats of paint on her despite the cold weather. They were there for only three weeks before returning home. A 24 foot fi berglass sailboat is going back together after she was Awlgripped. They painted her topsides, deck and cabin and now the hardware is being put back on. INTEGRITY, a Friendship sloop, which was rebuilt two years ago, is in for her annual maintenance.


Next they will be working on the several Herreshoff 12½s they have stored there.

Holland. However, Jim would buy her back and after sitting for years at his home, it was discovered that she was too far gone and she was cut up. This makes one wonder if there should also be a Hall of Fame for the boats. The Hall of Fame will be a display and that was discussed at length as to what needs to be done next and how can the funds be raised to make it happen. The fi rst thing that needs to be done is create and exhibit. This exhibit would have a photograph of the inductee and a brief biography and may be a photograph of a boat or two. This means a lot of research will need to be done, which Jon Johansen agreed to do. It also means that

we need to gather all the photographs and video taken and get that copied and located at a museum. Building the exhibit will have some cost associated with it and it was thought that if each venue paid annual dues this would cover this expense. This will be brought up at the annual meeting in October. This is Winter Harbor’s 50th


anniversary


and they will be going all out for their races. There is talk about giving away a truck or a hull, but nothing has been fi rmed up as of yet. However one can bet it will be a major event. Also they will be hosting the annual awards meeting and banquet, which this year will be at the Hollywood Casino in Bangor in October. Make sure you mark both of these events on your calendar.

in spring of 2015. A design that is versatile enough to daysail and race on both coasts of the United States as well as the Caribbean, the Frers 74 will be equipped for coastal cruising and ocean sprints. The yacht’s modern hull, underbody and sail plan are complemented by original styling from an award-winning architect. The Frers 74 is one of the most distinctive yachts to come from Brooklin Boat Yard in the builder’s 54-year history.


The Frers 74 has a length overall of 73’ 9” (22.m) and a waterline of 66’ 4” (20.24m) with a beam of 18’ 10” (5.76m). Her bulb keel draws 12’ 5” (3.8m) and has 18,959 lbs (8,600 kg) of ballast. Her full displacement (lightship) is 54,454 lbs (27,400 kg). The hull is built with a foam core construction to maximize stiffness and minimize weight. The inner planking is Western Larch running fore and aft (at 0 degrees) covered with uni-directional carbon fi ber (at 90 degrees) and infused with WEST epoxy. The outer planking consists of two vacuum-bagged diagonal layers of Western Red cedar (at 45 degrees and 135 degrees), a layer of 3/16” thick Western Larch, and a layer of infused bi-axial carbon fi ber. The exterior of the hull will be fi nished bright. The deck is constructed separately from the hull of Western Larch veneers and Okume plywood skins that sandwich the foam core. The Brooklin Boat Yard shipwrights carefully selected all of the wood for the Frers 74 with regard to size, shape and length. The full complement of materials was custom cut, sawn, kiln-dried and milled all at once to guarantee its uniformity and consistent quality. “The quality of the wood is exceptional,” said Steve White, owner of Brooklin Boat Yard. “The sawyer believed


it was the best run of material he had seen in a decade.


“While this yacht has a cold-molded hull and deck like most of our boats, the Frers 74 is like nothing we’ve ever built before in a lot of ways,” said White. “The styling details are completely unique to modern yachts and the end product will be a work of art.” The Frers 74 styling includes intricate patterns of daylights built of carbon-rein- forced curved glass that is inset into the sides of the hull and deck. Down below, the daylights will illuminate the interior with silhouettes of sunlight. Brooklin Boat Yard’s designers have engineered large areas of carbon reinforcement that fi t inside the core to accommodate the deck light shapes. The laminated deck frame is a combination of longitudinal and transverse deck beams sinuously shaped in both directions to mimic the window deck light shapes.


The modern, sleek interior design will be as unique as the exterior styling, contrib- uting to the overall contemporary aesthetic. Designed to be a comfortable coastal cruiser, the Frers 74 will have plenty of accommoda- tions for the owner and crew with a saloon, full galley, master cabin, guest cabin, and crew cabin.


The Frers 74’s systems include a full navigation system and push-button sail han- dling with a hydraulic mainsheet system and retractable anchor arm, making her easy to sail with few crew. Powered with a 170-HP Volvo diesel, the yacht also features a bow thruster for easy maneuvering. A 10-kw gen- erator will supply power for her ten 24-volt DC lithium iron phosphate batteries produc- ing 1800 amp-hours of power. She will have a GOST security system, full electronics, and air conditioning. Her mast, standing
