She was re-fl oated using lifting-bags and hauled out at the yard. The hull was holed in several places as well as severely chewed up and others. She is a Northern Bay 38 and has been used for dragging. It is thought she will be a total loss. Following this grounding, several of

foot electric runabout. The hull is a one-off and is being built of carbon. They have done a lot of research on this project and state that their boat will operate at 25 knots for three hours and will top out at 50 miles an hour. She will be done this summer. On the designing board is a 57 foot
fl ybridge cruiser, which is being designed in-house and with assistance of Stephens & Waring in Belfast. The hull and deck will be cold molded, which will be done at another yard, and then fi nished by Hood. She is scheduled to be started this spring.

She will be Awlgripped this summer and launched shortly after that. A couple of boats, both Wasque 26s, are in to be repowered with diesel engines.
