Keene, New Hampshire Boat Projects and Sailing Stories From the Chesapeake to Newfoundland to Bermuda Peterson 34, GREYHAWK We acquired the 1980 Peterson 34 offshore racing sloop "Greyhawk" in July 2005, and have been fixing it up (and cruising and racing) ever since, including in the 2011 Bermuda One-Two Yacht Race ! San Juan 21 #555, QUASAR We began fixing up "Quasar," our 1973 San Juan 21 trailer sailor back in 1999 (although it has been in the family since the beginning in 1973). Since 2013, QUASAR has been part of the rental fleet at West Harbor Recreation, Inc. , our boat rental business in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. Laser #811 Back around 1990, we installed a mast step repair kit in our Laser sailing dinghy, #811. As of 2014, we are still sailing this boat! Galaxy 32, GALAXY We also occaisionally got to sail on " Galaxy ," a 1958 Galaxy 32. In years past, Galaxy was available as a floating cottage for overnight guests at Harborfields in West Boothbay Harbor, Maine ... but GALAXY was sold in 2014. Cape Dory 36, DIAPENSIA Over the summer of 2003, we sailed to Newfoundland and back aboard "Diapensia" and maintained a web log for family and friends to follow along. DIAPENSIA was sold in 2008. Cape Dory Intrepid 9M, RIP TIDE After selling DIAPENSIA back in 2008, my dad again got a hankering for a boat of his own, and eventually he found RIP TIDE, a 29-foot Cape Dory Intrepid 9M, a great little cruising sailboat. This too has now been sold... Catalina-Morgan 440 PATRICIAN 2 We helped deliver PATRICIAN 2 from Annapolis to Harborfields Housekeeping Cottages in West Boothbay Harbor Maine for the summer of 2007. Irwin 37 MkV, PATRICIAN In 2004, we helped deliver the Irwin 37 "Patrician" from Annapolis, Maryland, to West Boothbay Harbor, Maine. PATRICIAN was sold in 2008.Canoe and Dinghy At some point, we also acquired an old wood-and-canvas canoe (that was fiberglassed over), and a fiberglass rowing dinghy (yacht tender) Lightning #12945 Yet another boat joined our fleet in June 2005a Lightning. Like some of the others, this too was in need of some major work... Unfortunately we determined the boat was too far gone and have cut it up. We do have the stainless steel centerboard, spars, sails, rudder(s) and other components available for salee-mail Tim .
