At Gloucester Marine Railway in
Gloucester, Massachusetts they have the FRIENDSHIP OF SALEM up on the railway. They are working with Boothbay Harbor Ship Yard in Boothbay, who is doing the repair work. She has been surveyed and there is some minor repair work underway on the starboard side. They are also working on her systems. This project should take approximately four months to complete. Completed and gone is a 30 foot skiff
barge for Riverside Pickering of Ports- mouth, NH, which they added rails to. They also did work on the dragger CAPT. NOVELLO. She replaced the smaller old CAPT. NOVELLO. She was in for regular maintenance and some minor changes. Hauled out on the hard now is a Smith
Marine barge which is having a pipe added for drilling. Coming in soon is a 72 foot Hatteras. She will just have minor work done. The PHYLLIS A., a boat built in Ken-
nebunkport in the 1920s, has just received a grant for $60,000 to help restore this boat.
Kittery Point Yacht Yard at Kittery
Point and Eliot is doing a lot of maintenance and engine repair work, especially on John Deere and Yanmar engines and Suzuki out- boards.
They have a contract with the U.S. Navy
on maintaining some of their smaller boats. These are in constant use and their engines have upwards of 3,000 to 4,000 hours on them and this keeps them busy. They also
have a contract with the spill responder, which also adds to the work load. Two sailboats arrived at the yard fol-
lowing a collision with a tanker in the River a couple of weeks ago. One of these was totaled but the other, which received only minor damage, is going to be repaired at the yard.
In the storage shed at Eliot is the John’s
Bay Boat SHARON ROSANNE, which is 30 years old. She is in for her annual maintenance which includes painting her topsides. Before this they it hauled ROLL- ING STONE, another John’s Bay Boat. She had some carpentry work done as well as her regular maintenance. A major improvement has just gotten
underway on the waterfront at Kittery Point, which has been four years in the planning. They have broken ground and the project should be done in October.
General Marine in Biddeford is just
getting ready to take a Northern Bay 36 out of the mould. She is being fi nished out as a lobster boat for a fi sherman from Vinal- haven. She will be powered with a 500 hp Cummins and is scheduled to be completed this fall. They also have two 36 foot Northern
Bay kit boats going to Cape Cod to be fi n- ished.
Also under construction is a General
Marine 20 for a customer from Kittery. She will be powered with a 115 hp Yamaha out- board. A General Marine 22 is being fi nished off for a customer from Massachusetts and she will be powered with a 150 hp outboard. They also said that they have a customer
very interested in fi nishing off a General Marine 26 and should know shortly.
