James Fogarty, owner of CADENZA:

"Dear John [England]...

I want you to know how thoroughly satisfied I have been with you and Rockport Marine. From start to finish, your organization was professional, honest and fair. It was 'on time and on budget' and it was a pleasure to deal with all of its personnel. As much as I have enjoyed sailing this summer, I have a twinge of regret that I will have no reason to visit your yard this winter.

Your care and workmanship is simply the finest I have ever seen. Cadenza is and always will be a treasure for me."

John Hanson, owner of FIERY JUBILEE:

"I’ve enjoyed my experiences with Rockport Marine since 1979, when they, without laughter or smirks, launched my 50 year old lobsterboat, the GERALD S., and made sure it stayed afloat.

More recently, the work they have done rebuilding my wooden Tripp sailboat has been first rate, the boat is in better shape now than when it was built. FIERY JUBILEE always looks great when the boat leaves the yard every year and is getting faster with age."

Stephen Corkery, owner's representative of CADENZA and LOUISE:

"Dear John [England] and Taylor [Allen],

It isn't often that I get a chance to write concerning a building of a yacht that turns out oh so right. In this case I can write about two. The crew that built both LOUISE and CADENZA should be very proud of their work and the entire yard personnel can take credit for the happiness brought to the owners of these two vessels. Leadership is an often over used expression these days, but in both your cases it was the important ingredient. I hope that we have the opportunity to continue this association in the future."
