Doug Hylan Boatbuilder in Brooklin has several projects underway at his shop. In the main shop is a Castine class sailboat that had been leaking. They were adding structure to the bed log as well as fl oor timbers around the side of the center board trunk. DIVA, a L. Francis Herreshoff design, built in the 1980s. They replaced the deck,
and put in new hatches and toe rails. Next they will fair the hull.
In the side shop they have a 26 footer designed by Doug, which is very similar to TOP HAT, which they built 10 years ago. The difference is that she has a more raised deck and accommodations. She is being fi n- ished for a local owner and should be done early summer
Hewes & Co in Blue Hill has had numerous jobs for their CNC machining. The projects include: a Calendar Islands Yawl designed by Clint Chase; a Stir Ven 22’ sailboat designed by Francois Vivier; two Tammie Norrie’sand one Caledonia Yawl designed by Iain Oughtred; a Point Comfort skiff designed by Doug Hylan and

Going Coastal: Humor, Parody, and Amusement
of a Maritime Nature
Going Coastal looks at how we have enjoyed ourselves on, alongside, and at the expense of the maritime world. It traces the transformation of maritime amusements from shipboard traditions to sailor stereotypes and nautical nonsense ashore.

half a dozen Stand Up Paddleboard frames for Timeless Surf Company. A Hinckley sailboat being refi tted at Atlantic Boat Co received a full Corian package with coved fi ddles, backsplashes, and ice box lids, to replace the countertops in the galley and head. They have also supplied machined V-groove overhead panels for Wayfarer Marine; Marinedeck for the Southport 29 head. Machined parts for the Frers 74 at Brooklin Boatyard include hull, deck, port- light & carlin moulds; interior bulkheads and transom.
Edgerly Boat in Surry is nearing completion on a 26 foot yacht. Three or four years ago, the design was completed and they built the plug molds for both the hull and deck. Two years ago they built the hull and since than have been fi nishing her out as time allowed. Down below she has a V-berth, enclosed head, and a small galley. The small galley will actually be up on the engine box and consist of an alcohol stove. She is powered with a 383 350-hp Mercruis- er and last fall they put her in the water and she did 26 knots. This boat will be done this summer and is for sale.
They have a 57 x 100 storage building full of boats, mostly small and some of these will need some work before they are launched this season.
Hank Hinckley, Boatbuilder in Bass Harbor has several projects underway in his shop.
In one bay they have a Great Harbor 26, hull # 7. She is having her fi nal details put on and will be delivered to her owner in Maryland in mid-May.
These Contrary Winds: Weather and its Effects on Ships, Mariners, and Maritime History
Symposium – Saturday May, 3 – tickets online
Every voyage has the same companion – Weather. Sometime sublime, often fickle, occasionally a raging monster, but always there. Paintings, photographs and artifacts highlight the perverse yet privileged place weather has in the mariner’s eyes.

Hull #5 is in for annual maintenance and she is also for sale.
Hull #1, built in 1997, is back for a bottom job and a new engine. The owner de- cided to remove Yanmar diesel and replace it with a Nanni mostly because he wanted to go from saltwater to freshwater cooled. An OC 52 #1 may be coming up to be rebuilt, and receive a new engine and bow thruster.
Hank has also bought a Hinckley Ber- muda 40, Pilot, and 38. Each one needs to be redone and all are for sale. The fi rst one that Hank said would be coming in is the 38. Once she is done she will be chartered at Ocean House.
Bass Harbor Boat in Bernard is work- ing on a Ron Rich 30 footer. This boat was half pleasure half lobster boat and her new owner wanted to make her all pleasure. They changed the location of the companionway from the port side to center and redid the helm station and settee. Around the windows
in the house they replaced the rotten wood. They also remove her engine and replaced her platform and running gear.
In the other bay is a 32 foot Grand
Banks. They have removed her engine so that they could get to her fuel tanks. They have installed new aluminum tanks, added a new exhaust system and reinstall the engine. She is now getting varnish and her annual maintenance.
As busy as they are with repair work they still have most of their storage custom- ers to get ready for the upcoming season.
A. J. Enterprises in Winter Harbor is working on one of the boats they built back in 2004. This is an AJ 28, which last summer hit the bottom and did some damage to the back end of the skeg. They brought the boat into the shop remove the engine and made some alterations to the keel. They added 8 inches of foam and glass in the keel so as to absorb energy in case of contact with the bottom again. They also located fractures around the engine and shaft tube and these have been repaired. Her engine was a 454 Chevy and this is being replaced with an 180 hp Yanmar. This project will be done the end of spring.
Next they have sold another AJ 28, which had been in the Chesapeake. She will be in mostly for cosmetic work. Another AJ 28, 12 years old, is outside and she will have her decks re-gel coated and other cosmetic work.
C. W. Hood in Marblehead has fi ve sailboats, all of them Hood 32s, under con- struction. They will be going to Mexico, Shelter Island, Cohasset, Kennebunk and Ohio. All fi ve of these boats will be done this spring.
In the shop up by the pond they are
rehabbing a Waskeag 30 hardtop. All the work is cosmetic. A 15-year-old Waskeag 33 is in for a
new engine, Awlgrip job, and bright work. They are also working on a new design,
a Waskeag 29, which will be very similar to the Waskeag 26. Once this boat is introduced the Waskeag 26 will be discontinued. This boat will have standing headroom and no engine box and an enclosed head. Soon they will start on the 35 foot DIVERSION, a Goudy & Stevens built fl ybridge cruiser. About four years ago she had been rebuilt at Dion’s yacht Yard in Salem, Mass, but unfortunately her owner passed away and she has not been in the water since. The family decided to sell the boat and her new owner wants to put her in fi rst-class condition. All of this work will be cosmetic and she will be in the water early this summer.
