Last week saw the magnificent 122′ classic motor yacht Atlantide leave the Front Street Shipyard, after an extensive winter refit.
This year’s 11th running of the annual Shipyard Cup in Maine will be held from August 8 to 11, hosting such spectacular vessels as the 180-foot Vitters superyacht Marie, as well as the last year’s winner – Hodgdon luxury yacht Scheherazade.
The prominent yacht yard, Front Street Shipyard, will be awarded with a $120,897 grant, to be provided by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in order to add 12 new slips with shorepower on the dock face, as well as five 40-foot harbor floats.
Front Street Shipyard will boast a new 485-US-ton hoist, ordered from the Italian company Cimolai, that is expected to be fully operational by August 1. The company has also begun the permitting process to expand their facilities.
After having purchased Belfast Boat Yard, Front Street Shipyard has started the second phase of its expansion. The company is also considering buying a 300-metric-ton marine hoist that will haul superyachts.
As from January 1, 2013, James Anderson will take over its new role as the Hodgdon Yachts’ head of the Design and Engineering department. Currently working as Engineering Manager of SP Gurit / High Modulus, he will attend the 2012 Monaco Yacht Show.
Luxury sailing yacht AXIA is currently available in New England for a great price and two additional free nights if booked for one week. She is an excellent charter yacht with accommodation for 8-9 guests in total.
As part of its expansion strategy, the Maine-based Front Street Shipyard has recently purchased Belfast Boatyard, gaining 500 feet of deep-water frontage, 22 slips, 20 moorings as well as harbor floats.
