Beatons is moving along on the restoration of Quest, a 1922 Watch Hill 15. Built by the Herreshoff Mfg. Co. for service in Watch Hill Bay, RI, she’s been given a second ninety years on our Bay.
The coamings are in place and await final trimming and fairing. The hull’s had the first of several finish coats applied.
Deck hardware being installed. It will all turn a nice soft green over time.
Paul Smith of Beatons, lead builder on Quest. Note the original bronze knee.
Sleet! And rain and snow and blowing 25 out of the ENE. Definitely Sardine weather.
Though the weather outside was frightful….
The weather for the Winter Solstice was decidedly more benign. About 4:00 yesterday.
