Seabreeze #16 Moves to Maine
Braving a maelstrom of driving rain and gale winds, my new Allied Seabreeze project boat made the 100 mile journey from Boxford, MA to North Yarmouth, ME earlier today, successfully completing the final step in my purchase. Thanks to Steve Morse for another successful and inexpensive transport.
And yes, a new website is in the works. Publishing the new site is delayed because I haven't yet decided on a name for the new boat, which I hope to also use for the new site's URL. Stay tuned, though.
To whet your appetite, here is a series of photos from the move today.
At the previous owner's home in Boxford...
Pulled out of her old storage spot and ready for the road. Love that sheerline!
Somewhere on I-95 heading north...
Safe and sound in Maine at my house, in the spot she'll stay till next summer when she moves to the shop, hopefully.

That's Manatuck, Seabreeze #46--the boat the PO bought as a replacement for Perelandra, #16.Figment wrote:What was the other boat in the PO's yard?

We've discussed Phoenix, but I highly doubt use it because it is so overused. Sadly, I doubt most (if any) of the other boats named Pheonix are quite so aptly named! It certainly fits in this case.Figment wrote:"Phoenix" would certainly be an apt name, but there are too many boats named phoenix already.
Around here, names reflecting on the boat's fire-checkered past have been flying about, but frankly I don't think that the boat need be named in such a way as to reflect that single--though important--event in her history. So the search continues. I'd rather the new name reflect the grace and beauty of what will be, rather than what is or was.
I might even have considered retaining the name Perelandra, but the PO is planning to change Manatuck to Perelandra, so good enough.
It will come, it will come. Now that she's here I may go sit aboard and reflect for a bit. She's so warm and cozy below right now.

Seabreeze
Congratulations, Tim, on finding yet another "soon to be gorgeous" boat.
I look forward to watching you make progress on this restoration. I think we'll all enjoy the ride!
Don't rush into naming the Seabreeze. It took me over a year to find a name for my new boat. Nothing seemed right and total agreement within the family on any one name seemed too much to hope for, even after endless dinner table discussions. In the end the name "just came to me" while enjoying the last sail of my first season with the boat. The family agreed or "gave in" depending on your point of view and the following spring I put the new name on the transom.
Good Luck with the new boat and congratulations again!
Lyman
P.S. My boat is called "Scoot" because she does!

Yup. The Rhodes is done. Though I loved the look of the Rhodes, she was just too big--too much draft (6'), more length than I really wanted--and for no particular gain, other than beauty. Plus, I was quickly determining that the price of admission for a Rhodes or Bounty II was going to be too high, even for a project boat, if I were lucky enough to find one. It was a fun pipe dream, but in the end I'm happier where it ended up.
With the smaller Seabreeze, I get the potential for beauty (trust me, she'll come out well), and have almost the same interior room as the Rhodes (the beam is the same), all in a more compact overall package with shallow draft (under 4') that suits our needs better. I always thought 35-ish was an ideal size for a couple, but I was smitten enough with the Rhodes to give it a go, at least in theory.
I'd been keeping an eye open for a Seabreeze for a couple years, actually, as I had already identified it as a design well suited to our needs. The location of a true project boat within a reasonable distance from home brought the whole thing together, finally.

Buddy Cianci is the much loved mayor of Providence, RI. So well loved, in fact, that he was re-elected after serving time in federal prison for some form of corruption committed while in office. (actual Rhode Islanders chime in and elaborate)
wow, they even made a movie? http://www.buddycianci.com
Say what you will about his methods, the city of Providence wouldn't be half of what it is today without him.
Does he still have his own brand of spaghetti sauce on the market? I had some a few years ago. It was pretty good, though I favor Paul Newman's "Sockarooni".
