and ready for her refit and and having her lines recorded. She’s back in the Big Shed, near the covered slip and the usual breeze. Yesterday had a SW wind, blowing right through the shed. Quite nice on an otherwise steamy day.
…
Mast pulled and ready to be hauled. Not too many bad spots on the mast though it needs to be stripped “one of these years”.
…
Here she comes. This is the 50 year old lift built by Beaton’s. It’s a hybrid travel lift, running on railroad tracks. There used to be a traditional railway here.
…
Not too bad for ten months in the water though most of those months featured cold water.
…
She’s back in her usual spot. I’ll need to level her before the lines are recorded. There are two beams that run on tracks the length of the shed. Each beam has a pair of moveable chain hoists that will allow Sjogin to be lifted and set down level.
This week will see the measuring platform set up and the hull scrapped, sanded and primed so we have a clean surface on which to measure.
…
Here’s a couple of pics for Peter S. Julia and I were guests of John and Debbie H at Seaside Park YC last night and ran into Peter, one of my regular readers. He asked for more Beaton pics.
…
This is Suzanne, the Beaton family boat. She’s a Maine built boat, in these waters for a few year’s now.
…
This is Cats Whiskers, a Bunker and Ellis picnic boat long maintained by Beatons.
russ. hope you enjoyed your spyc night. tks for the more shots of beatons. you need to start heading into the lower 40 over there. hearing there is a windmill??? also some hulls that i’m sure have a history that you might know.
ever thought of doing a coffee table book about the history of beatons?
Russ,
Except for the cabin window shapes on the side, Suzanne looks like she may have been built by Paul Bryant of Newcastle, Maine at Riverside Boat Company.
