New Beaton pics

This should make Reader P happy.

Sorry for the three week gap but I’ve been busy with my business. There’s actually something new to report but that can wait a day or so.


Paul Smith

Paul Smith getting ready to finish the details this remarkable restoration. The boat is a simple plywood outboard runabout, built in the 50’s and near death. Paul replaced the transom, keel, deck, seats and such. She’s ready for another generations worth of fun on the Bay.


Segar
Segar waiting patiently for a return to service. She’s an Officer’s tender; I believe from one of the Dewey era dreadnoughts. That’s Speedwell, our Clarke Duckboat in the center. It’s the one with the bump in the deck edge.)


Maid Party
Folks at the Silent Maid Commissioning Party last month.


Us
Your host and a not too warm Julia.


Tom Beaton
Tom and a new patient for the geriatric ward.


Garden pics, news from Nova Scotia and a new rig for Speedwell to follow.

  2. Thanks Peter. Yes, it’s a Hankins in need of major work.

    I had one of these in the 70’s that I converted to sail. If I find a pic of her I’ll Post it here. Fun boat; long gone.

  3. Reader P must be getting ready for another summer campaign. Russ, are you still sailing, or have you handed the bay over to the heathens of horsepower?
