Today I was up in Newport at the Newport International Boat Show. The show is going on through the weekend. Morris Yachts had their own little show over at the International Yacht Restoration School docks with an M29, M36, M42 and M52 in attendance. This was pretty smart on their part. Instead of having their boats locked in at the show, they had a tent over there and were ferrying people right out of the show in a hard bottom inflatable, over to IYRS. Having the boats at IYRS allowed them to do test sailing all day.


I think they sold a couple of boats.

A bunch of us are heading up to Portland, Maine for the Maine Boatbuilders Show, which starts tomorrow and runs through Sunday. It's a great venue. We will have a small booth at the show. Also design #25, Blue Heron, will be on display inside and prior to her restoration. It will a good opportunity to see a very early example of an S&S design up close.
