CANBus technology. From settings to con- trols, digital switching to monitoring and security, everything is easily operated using a panel or a computer. On deck, captain and crew will appreciate electric Harken winch- es, and an extensive hydraulic system with a single user interface to operate the headstay furler, bow sprit, windlass, outhaul, vang and backstay, and the boat’s lifting keel. All have a manual back up.
The lifting keel allows the Bermuda 50 to reduce draft from 11’6” to 6’6” with the keel up for maximum versatility when cruising.
As one might expect of a boat of this
caliber, the mast and V-boom are carbon. A choice of racing or cruising sail plans is
offered.
Other innovative features of the Bermu- da 50 include a dodger that stows into the cabin top to preserve the boat’s competitive edge and clean good looks. There is also neat and effi cient dinghy storage in the transom, abaft of the boat’s twin wheels. A mock up of the Bermuda 50 was built by Hinckley in their Portsmouth, RI boatyard. The company builds a full scale mock up of every new model.
Classic Boat Shop in Bernard has sent

The Quickstep they did a lot of work on was launched and her owner sailed it home to Massachusetts.
Still to do is a S-boat, which needs varnish work.
S. W. Boatworks in Lamoine is right out straight, building hulls and tops. Several of these they are fi nishing off, but fortunately they do have a couple of slots for those that are looking for a hull and deck this fall. Presently they are fi nishing a Wesmac 46 as a lobster boat for a fi sherman from Vinalhaven. She is powered with a C-18 Cat- erpillar and will be launched late summer. A Calvin Beal 38 is underway. She is

Joe Sargent of Sargent Custom Boats in Milbridge gave up building boats on his own and went back to the Hinckley Company to work for them. Well, HE IS BACK. In the shop he has an Osmond 40, which is being fi nished out as a lobster boat for a fi sherman from Sorrento. The accommodations, which includes V-berth and cabinet is done. Her engine, a QSM 11 610-hp Cummins diesel, is in. They started this project in June, are now working on fi nishing up the platform, and she will be going over the end of sum- mer.
Joe said he is looking for another project to do once this one leaves. He does have some repair work, but that will not be coming in until this fall.

make something look good. The little tricks that they won’t know you’ve done.” The highlight Wes will also remember is the building of the wooden boat and working with his grandfather and uncles. Wes said, “Dad was really happy when he was building that. That was his favourite
thing to do. He was in his glory. That was some serious woodwork. She is now out on Vinalhaven and the kid loves it.” This was Wes’ fi rst boat he completed on his own. He and his crew did a great job fi nishing off this boat and there will defi - nitely be more to come. His father certainly would have been proud of the job did .
