Over-winter 2007-08 Boatyards
- Continental Marine [Paul Griffith 617-479-5799] [Tom X I think works with Paul]
- stores boats in Quincy near MBTA ferry terminal
- has NO boat-launching access where boats are stored
- steps mast (Thom thinks)
- Quincy Maritime Park [AKA Scalisi Marine]
- where Nevermore got hauled (i.e., they're on the river)
- equipment is:
- low trailer that is submerged and placed under hull,
and a truck pulls trailer & boat up a ramp and finally to storage yard
[trailer can't lift boat enough for re-rigging centerboard pennant] - crane that pulls mast prior to the boat trailer being towed to storage yard
- low trailer that is submerged and placed under hull,
- Question: Where might we get hauled to replace centerboard pennant? (per Paul)
- need a Travel-Lift, i.e. we need to be raised high enough for keel to extend
- might get short-time (overnight?) haul, even during their busy times (May-June)
- over-night, or maybe if they have a long lunch-break (which I doubt)
- must verify we can work on boat ourselves
- Paul suggests asking at:
- Town River Marina [Dave Donahue]
- Boston Boat Works (I think is in Boston Harbor)
- Bay Point Marina 617-471-1777
- Marina Bay 617-328-7200
- Paul mentioned
- they could trailer boat to one of the above (rather than launching at Quincy Maritime Park)
- but we didn't talk about who would step mast
