Over-winter 2007-08 Boatyards

• Continental Marine [Paul Griffith 617-479-5799] [and Tom X (ThomS thinks works with Paul)]
  • 86 Reservoir Road
  • 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] 781-331-0446
  • 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

• 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
