We're just days away from the finish date for the Back Cove 37. There's a ton of activity as you can imagine and, sea trials are planned for next week.
Now think about what I just said. "Sea trials, next week." We're in Maine and it's the middle of the winter. The weather buoy in West Penobscot Bay is showing an air temperature of 25 degrees, water temperature of 35 and a Northeasterly breeze (wind) of 14 knots. Nice day for boating don't you think? Are we crazy? Perhaps, but the show must go on.
Inside the shop, where it's cozy and warm, we have fitted out the helm pod with all of the standard items and placed a few templates to make sure everything we need fits and everything our owners want to fit, has a place to go.
In this cold water the reverse cycle heat/air doesn't provide much heat so we're sending the test crew some extra socks, hats and mitts.
