Work is progressing on the ERNESTINA-MORRISSEY at Boothbay Harbor Shipyard.
In the big lift is this 135-foot fi berglass motor yacht KOMOKWA. She was designed and built by Horizon Yachts a their Kooshing shipyard in Taiwan in 2009 and originally named BIKINI QUEEN 2 and ROB ROY. She has a beam of 26 feet; draft 7.5 feet; 398 gross tons; and her maximum speed is 15.5 knots produced from two 1,550-hp MTUs. She can accommodate 12 guests in fi ve cabins and 6 crew members in three cabins.
The Lowell Brothers in Yarmouth are
building a 46-foot one-off for a lobster fi sh- erman from Penobscot Bay. Jamie Lowell designed the new boat,
which will have a 15 foot 6 inch beam and draw 5 feet of water. Other modifi cations include: more fl are and concave and deeper in the bow, tumblehome, and more volume underwater amidships so she can carry more power. This boat will be powered with an 890-hp French diesel engine. She has been set up in the shop upside
down using double stations. She will then be planked up with 1½-inch bed and cove foam, which should already be underway. They expect to have her completed in 2017. They have also been doing some work
on a Diesel Duck 48, designed by George Buehler. They assisted with putting the shaft in, installing the exhaust and fuel system, and cabin work. Outside they have a Duff y 35, which
had been started 30 years ago. They have removed the old gasoline engine and are installing a new 8.1 gasoline engine. They have also helped with the rails, doors, fuel system, bulkheads and platforms. They were also putting a new stern in
an Eastern 18. Casey Yacht Enterprises in Freeport
just fi nished doing cosmetic work on an Ale-
rion 21 and she is already back in Harpswell. They repainted her mast and did a bottom job.
The big project underway now is up-
grading a Mussel Ridge 28. She is getting all new varnished woodwork, repair the wet core in the washboards and lots of cosmetics. They refaired the deadwood on a BHM
28, added a new shaft log, added dripless seal cutlass bearings and this increased her effi ciency fi fteen percent.
Edgecomb Boat Works in Edgecomb has had a busy spring. One interesting project they did was
fabricating a fi berglass shaft log for a 1970 37-foot Egg Harbor cruiser. They also reefed out the seams and recaulked the hull below the waterline; painted her hull and fl ybridge; redid the exhaust system; and added a tank monitoring system. The Stanley 36 pleasure cruiser is done.
She was in and had her systems overhauled and battery work. New shafts have been put into an Ale- rion 28 and a Morris Francis 26. A Newman 32 is in and is having her wash-rails and cabin redone. They just fi nished working on a 1967
26-foot Lyman runabout. She got paint top to bottom; fresh water cooling kit; hydraulic steering; new battery cabling; and a new shaft.
A Herreshoff 12½ is in to be refi nished
and then cosmetic work from top to bottom. Also in is a 32-foot Beals Island lobster
