Bernuda40 MKIII

I was recently reconnected with a client who years ago purchased a Hinckley Pilot that had been equipped with a carbon fiber spar. We surveyed and sailed that boat on the Severn River before it was shipped to Nova Scotia. Here is Peter's new boat, a Bermuda40 MKIII, with guess what, a custom two spreader carbon fibre mast! We hope to see Peter here on the Chesapeake with his new boat!

Early Season Sea Trial

After weeks of snow on the ground it felt great to get out on the water this weekend with Carlo De Notaristefani, buyer of "Escape Plan". The laminate cruising sails proved to be in excellent condition and the Universal Diesel turned up as desired. Carlo will be relocating the boat to Liberty Marina on the Hudson river which offers a view (and water taxi service) right into lower Manhattan.

40' Webbers Cove Flybridge Sedan

Over the weekend I ran across one of my favorite boats on the Chesapeake Bay. For the last three years I have been following a thoughtful restoration of a boat that was built in Blue Hill, Me. in 1978. The hull was laminated in tooling belonging to Webbers Cove and then delivered to the close by facility of Brooklin Boatyard for completion. Joel White's signature appears on the builders certificate confirming that "Leeway" is the "real deal" Downeaster.
She was built for David Hollingsworth of Wilmington, De. and now under second ownership by a gentleman who comes from a significant sailboat background.
"Leeway" is currently stored in a building, available for sale, and an early spring launch!
