At S. W. Boatworks they are extending this Calvin 38 by adding four feet in the middle.
Northeast Composites in Brunswick has in the shop the Lowell 43 mould. During the winter they did some work on the mould, which included fairing, repolishing and then sealed and waxed. When this was done they laid up a hull, which will be going to Farrin’s Boat Shop in Walpole to be fi nished out as a pleasure boat.
The rumor is they also have another 43 hull to do which will be stretched. Some smaller jobs fi lled in the down-
time. A Bruno 42 lobster boat was in to replace a section of her deck and install a rope locker. Other jobs included building a tank for a green crab project in Freeport; building a 14 foot and 17 foot fi berglass skiff and a 16 foot kayak, which they might have more to do.

The tender can accommodate boarding from the aft deck, the bow, or the port or star- board forward cockpit, with the assistance of robust, removable polished stainless steel grab rails. The composite top above the helm lowers hydraulically to optimize clearance
in the mothership tender bay. Michael Peters Yacht Design of Sara- sota, Florida adapted the general arrange- ment of this aft helm model into the design aesthetic of Hodgdon’s Venetian Series and executed the naval architecture. The twin Volvo outdrive powered tender is currently in builder’s trials and recording cruising speeds well above 35 knots.
The yacht will deliver to a northern Eu- ropean shipyard later this quarter where the Hodgdon commissioning team will meet to re-commission the tender and provide crew training.

fi nished out as a sportfi sherman for a cus- tomer from Bermuda. For accommodations she has V berth with lockers, two hanging lockers, head, galley with a microwave oven. Up in the shelter she has a settee to port, locker, and tackle station. Behind the house there is a chum station, fi sh hold in hot pink, as well as logos, nine rod holders, tuna door and LED lights. She has a fl ybridge with a hardtop that has seating for six. There is no wood on this boat and she has been Awlgripped inside and out. She is powered with a QSB 420-hp and tops out at 24 and cruises between 18 and 20 mph. The South Shore 38 SON OF A GUN, underwent extensive repairs after she sank last summer. She was completely stripped out, fuel tanks cleaned and then pressure tested, redid the fuel lines and the exhaust systems, new wiring, and new electronics. The engine, a C15 Caterpillar was replaced with a C18 805-hp Caterpillar. But the big aspect of this job was replacing the fi fteen feet of her keel all the way to the turn of the bilge, one-third of the portside. This meant grinding out all the affected areas and then fi berglassing in new ones. When done you could not tell what was new or old. When launched she did 28.5 knots. Next a Lowell 43 will be fi nished off as a pleasure boat for a customer from Freeport and California. She will have a 1,200-hp MAN and for accommodations a double berth forward, head with Corain countertops and separate shower, and galley. She will also have fl ybridge. A Mitchell Cove 32 lobster boat from Matinicus was in to repower. She had a 3116 Caterpillar and this was replaced with a QSC 8.3 500-hp Cummins. They also put in a new shaft, exhaust, propeller and rewired. A Wayne Beal 36, which was built by
Farrin’s 19 years ago, came in to be re- powered. Her 430-hp Cummins was original
