Two of hulls being fi nished off at Millennium Marine in Eastport. The 74-footer at Brooklin Boat Yard is progressing nicely. Continued from Page 1.
They removed a Westerbeke and replaced it with a Yanmar. A 39-foot sailboat came in to be re-
powered. They replaced a Yanmar with a new Yanmar. They also replaced her toe- rails.
A Valiant 40 was also repowered. Her
Westerbeke diesel was replaced with a Yan- mar.
During the winter the steam yacht
CANGARDA stayed tied to the south-side of the lift dock. Now she has been taken out of the water and brought into the shop to be readied for the upcoming season, which means a lot of paint and varnish. An interesting project is the fabrication
of 11 steel moulded frames for fi berglass indoor sky-diving set-up.
Front Street is also laying up hulls for
Wesmac in Surry. There are several builders on the Maine coast who are extremely busy

and Wesmac is one of them. Front Street is presently doing hull #96 of the Wesmac 46. They also have #97 to #102 to do along with other fi berglass parts and pieces.
Another very busy shop is Morgan Bay
Boats, the builders of the Northern Bay 38, in Penobscot and Surry. In Surry they are in the fi nal stages of construction on a Northern Bay 38, which is being fi nished out as a cruiser/sportfi sh- erman for a customer from California and Bucksport. Down below she has a V-berth, head with separate shower, galley down. She is powered with a 480-hp Cummins with a 2½:1 gear. The galley will have a two drawer refrigerator/freezer, sink with Corian coun- tertops. Up in the shelter are built in helm seating, a settee to port and an entertainment centre with a fl at-screen television that rises up out of the cabinetry when wanted. She also has a generator, heat/air conditioning, stainless steel bridge tower, tuna door, swim

platform, live-well, bait tanks and two fi sh holds. She will be going over early this summer.
In Penobscot they have two boats and a mould under construction. A 38 stretched to 41 being fi nished out as a sportfi sherman for a customer from New York. For accom- modations she has a V-berth with two berths above, galley, head and a quarter berth. She will be powered with a 67-hp Volvo. She will be done this summer. Another 38 is being fi nished as a sport-
fi shing boat for a customer from Gloucester. She will have a simple interior, which will include just a V-berth, head and galley. She will be powered with a 1,200-hp MAN and we will be seeing her at this year’s lobster boat races. She is scheduled to be over mid- June so she can make the Boothbay races. The mould being built is for the new Northern Bay 44. She will have a 15 foot beam and 14 foot on the transom. They hope to have this done by the end of the summer.
Atlantic Boat in Brooklin over the last several years has been focusing more on storage and repair work, but still will build a hull and fi nish them off. In one bay they have a Duffy 37, which
has been extended to a 39, and is being fi nished off as a sportfi shing boat for a cus- tomer from New York. Down below is has a V-berth with two bunks to port, and head and shower with hanging locker to starboard. The engine, which is a 715-hp Caterpillar diesel, and bulkhead, was moved 18 inches forward. This makes the salon 10 feet long and the cockpit 13 feet long. Up in the shelter there is a steering station with helm station, galley, which contains a sink, two-burner stove and a microwave, and a settee that can be turned into a berth. In the cockpit there is a steering station, bait-well, six foot fi sh-hold, a tuna door and underneath a 500-gallon fuel tank and a 6 Kw generator. She also will have lots of electronics, air conditioning, and a bow thruster. She will be done later this spring. A Hinckley 49 is in for new Corain countertops in the galley. Also they replaced the refrigerator and replaced it with a Sea Frost refrigerator/freezer. A Hinckley T40 jet boat was in to have a Panda generator installed. A Chummy Rich built 43-foot wood- en boat was in for deck work. They made

ARUNDEL – April 9, 2015 - The Landing School is pleased to announce the development of a merit-based scholarship aimed at students who excel at working with their hands. The Imagination, Initiative,
) Scholarship is a competitive scholarship that is awarded based on a student’s ability to illustrate their creative skill by building an object of their choice. The Landing School is a place where students come to build with their hands. By using imagination, initiative and invention, students can win one of three $5,000 scholarships. What students build is entirely up to them. It can literally be anything and does not have to be marine-related. “This scholarship is one that truly

refl ects the kinds of students who come to The Landing School,” said Dr. Richard Schuhmann, Landing School President. “Our students are creative and inventive and love working with their hands. But attending college can be a strain fi nancially. We need to help prospective students fund their education. So why not do that by giving them a chance to show us their imagination, initiative and invention? They get a chance to show us their passion while potentially earning $5,000 towards their education and we get a chance to learn more about our students and their dedication to their craft.” Submissions should be in the form of a 3-5 minute video where the student describes three things: What they built, how they built it and why they built it. Submissions should be uploaded to YouTube by June 22. Once the student has uploaded their video they should email a link to susangross@
landingschool.edu. Projects will be voted on by Landing School faculty and staff and awarded by July 17. This scholarship is for fi rst year students only.
