At Light Fiberglass in Steuben, they have three boats underway, to the left is an Osmond 50 and to the right a Wayne Beal 46.
At the Sail Power & Steam Museum
in Rockland, they are progressing well on the Friendship sloop, BLACKJACK, built by Wilbur Morse of Friendship in 1900. Presently they have just fi nished the deck, the coamings are in and they are putting the house top on. What is left now is paint and varnish and some minor joiner work. She may be launched this summer. Unfortunate- ly, the lead worker has been hired to work
on the schooner MARY E., which is going to be rebuilt at the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath.
York Marine in Rockland has had a very busy winter and spring. Inside one bay is a South Shore 34,
which is in to be completely refurbished. They have redone her systems, added a teak interior and have painted her with Awlgrip.

At Journey’s End Marina in Rockland, they are fi nishing out this Dixon 50 as a lobster boat.
They will next build a fl ybridge. She is scheduled to be overboard this summer. A 26 foot Crosby launch hull is being
fi tted with a pilothouse and wrap-around seating in the stern. She has no berths, but does have a head and small galley. She is powered with a diesel engine and should be fi nished later this summer. Next to her is a Massachusetts Maritime
Academy rowing gig that has been com- pletely rebuilt. They have done this to three others before for that Academy. Also in this bay is a Mitchell Cove 32
powered with a 480 Cummins. They have raised her platform and house fi ve inches, added new Soundown, and windows. She will be used as a six-pack sportfi sherman/ tuna boat.
Coming in next is a Young Brothers 40
lobster boat that will be rebuilt for a fi sher- man on North Haven. This project should be started within the month. A 34 foot sailboat has received a new
Espar heater, complete Awlgrip, autopilot, deck catches and an engine overhaul. One of Chuck Paine 18 sailboats may
have been sold and if this is the case they will begin construction shortly.
Journeys End Marina in Rockland
is another very busy yard on the coast of Maine. Work is progressing well on the Dixon
50, which is being fi nished out as a lobster boat. She is powered with a 850 hp Baudouin
diesel. Presently they are working on fairing out the cabin inside and out and putting in the platform. PALAWAN III will be coming into the
paint shop soon to have paint applied around her new house. Next year they will paint her deck.
The newest Sabre 66, hull #4, will be
coming in in August. She will be in for paint and other work before launched and deliv- ered to her new owner. Over the winter, the engine department
has sold a number of new engines to com- mercial fi shermen. They have also rebuilt a number of engines for both the commercial and pleasure industry. In the paint booth they have rented space for another yard to do some work. Presently they are working on their
300+ storage customers, which is about 75 percent complete. They also have a number of boats brought in from their owner’s yards that get some work before they are launched for the season. Their new inside storage building may
have some space next year and if you are interested, call soon, because vacancies will not be around long.

seeking an ambitious, passionate owner interested in rebuilding CYTHEREA (Ex FALCON); one of seven original 10 Me- ters designed by W. Starling Burgess for members of the New York, Corinthian, and Seawanhaka yacht clubs; and built by Abeking & Rasmussen in Germany in 1927. CYTHEREA’s proud owners have included well-known yachtsmen like A.W. Stewart, Alexander Morgan, and Winthrop Aldrich. It has been said that the Burgess 10
Meters have more attractive lines and more speed for their size than their more popular 12 Meter kin. Arguably the 10 Meters pro- vided as much excitement as the 12 Meters for signifi cantly less maintenance cost and requiring fewer crew. CYTHEREA’s hull was cut up in 2001,
but the deck hardware, ballast keel, and spars are intact. What a wonderful opportunity to build a brand new hull without the usual ineffi ciencies and constraints of a resto- ration — while preserving the pedigree and historical value of the original! Beneath her 59-feet of uninterrupted
fl ush deck will be a private owner’s cabin with two large single berths, a main saloon with settee berths, and a fo’c’sle with two pipe berths. And above, her spruce spars and stainless rigging support 1,500 square feet of sail.
CYTHEREA would make a fi erce com- petitor on the classic racing circuit, and be
