Current Projects: Winter 2010
Rockport Marine specializes in the restoration and construction of wooden boats. Every project is unique and requires custom worksmanship, and that makes Rockport Marine an exciting place to be. Our roster of projects is constantly changing.
Focus is intense at Rockport Marine as project manager John England and crew prepare BOLERO for her launch in June 2010. The deck is complete and the crew has turned their efforts to the interior, bulwarks and cockpit. They are also putting the rig back together, building up finish coats of paint and varnish, and installing systems. Pictured is carpenter Greg Pugh, working on the cockpit installation.
TRADE WIND's hull structure is now complete, and the crew is working on the interior, deck structures and systems. At left is the deck house being built by carpenter Tim Watts, carpenter Rick Chamberlain is pictured above.
ADVENTURESS arrives at Rockport Marine
Late in 2009, Tom Brownell and his crew arrived in Rockport to move Adventuress from the public ramp to the shed at Rockport Marine. In an effort that took one custom built trailer and four trucks, the classic Fife yacht was carefully moved to the bay where she will undergo a complete restoration. At left, you can see Adventuress being hauled over the Goose River to the shop.
