Rumery’s Boat Yard in Biddeford has a number of spring maintenance jobs in the main shop. They are also getting ready to fi nish off one of their 36-foot hulls. In the main shop is a Grand Banks 32, which is in for varnish, electrical upgrades, a new windlass and maybe a bow thruster. A 27-foot Herreshoff cat-ketch had been abandoned and now has a new owner. Rumery’s will be doing a bottom job, which means stripping the bottom and adding a bar- rier coat. They will also do some fi berglass repairs to the propane locker and upgrade
the electrical system.
They have two Hinckley Sou’westers. One will be getting new electronics and the other upgrades to her systems, which will include plumbing, engine and exhaust. They also have a lot of smaller mainte- nance projects to do on many of their storage customers before the upcoming boating season.
The 36 foot hull is one of their torpe- doed stern lobster boats, which was taken off Gus Alley’s William Frost built LEONARD W and redrawn by Robert Stephens. This boat will be open with washboards and a center console. She will be powered with an Elco electric drive. She is a fi ll in project, but they hope to have done sometime this year.
There is always a lot going on at Yankee Marine in Yarmouth.
When I arrived at the yard outside, and getting ready to be shipped back to Port Harbor Marine, was a custom-built landing craft for a customer in the Camden area. She was in to have her bottom barrier coated and painted, Awlgrip and Linex sprayed on the interior. She went to Port Harbor to have her outboard engines installed before being delivered to her customer. A Krogan 42 was in to have her fuel tanks replaced. This meant gutting the en- gine room. Before the tanks were replaced, they added Soundown and a compartment for storage. Just fi nished was a Holland 38, which was in to be repowered. They removed a 3208 Caterpillar and replaced it with another Caterpillar. They also added a new exhaust system

There is lots of maintenance to be done on the storage customers, which includes more than enough paint and varnish. There are also several boats needing electronics upgrades and bottom jobs.
Six River Marine in North Yarmouth is continuing work on the 46-foot wooden commuter.
So far they have replaced all the fram- ing, rebuilt the transom, installed the horn timber and shaft log and were working on putting in the stem. Next they will put in Soundown mounts for the engine and install the exhaust system. Following that they will start replanking the hull.
Boothbay Harbor Shipyard in Booth- bay is waiting for the arrival of the schooner ERNESTINA-MORRISEY from New Bed- ford for a complete rebuild. With the harsh winter they have not been able to fi nd a weather window in which to move her. This is a huge project and will take three to four years to complete. The scope of the rebuild is to replace almost everything from the keel up.
