Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting a new team member at Back Cove. Aaron Cormier is the latest addition to the skilled engineering staff and he joins us from Lyman Morse Boat Building in Thomaston, Maine. Aaron (on the right) is pictured here with Kevin Burns (left) who heads up the Sabre and Back Cove design teams and with fellow engineer Adam Carlson (center). Welcome aboard Aaron.
These guys really are the reason why our boats are good looking, rugged and so well equipped and put together. They work on every detail of our designs and are a very big part of the popularity of our boats. They make our jobs on Marketing and Sales pretty easy.
We celebrated Christmas yesterday with our crew in Rockland. “Sandy Claus” made an appearance and gave out presents to all of the good girls and boys. Their numbers have risen almost to pre-recession levels which is truly amazing given that many other boat builders are still running at less than 50% capacity.
This Holiday Season we are very thankful for all that we have and for all that the New Year has in store for us.
Happy Holidays

Jed Elderkin of EMarine Australia presented the new Back Cove 30 to an audience of Australian boaters last Saturday at Emarine's offices in MacMahons Point in the northern reaches of Sydney Harbour. The reception was very positive and a number of interested parties took advantage of a beautiful spring (yes it is spring time down under) day to do a sea trial on hull #2. Hull #10 is currently in build for shipment to Australia and the sentiment from last saturday's event would indicate that the 30 is a perfect boat for Australia's boating lifestyle
Also present for the Open House were a Back Cove 33 and a Back Cove 37 as you can see in these images.

I am often asked how we can be so sure of the designs that we develop and the simple answer to that question is "technology." Years ago it was not uncommon for a builder to design a boat, test it in the real world and then have to go back to the drawing board to modify the design entirely in order to make it run correctly. That is certainly not the case today. As we are proving out the design with the first hull, we are already underway with the next several hulls and the serial production of the model.
Our computer technology is state-of-the-art and that is what sets us apart. We can virtually test evey part of the boat to see how it will fit inside the envelope and we can virtually test the boat to see how fast she will be and how she sits on her lines.
Our design office was recently featured in an article about one of the software products we utilize and I thought you might like to read about it.

The Back Cove 30 is off and running; literally. And boy does she run.
Last week as may know, I spent two days on the water with the Back Cove 30. Along for the cruise were Peter Janssen, Editor Emeritus of Motorboating Magazine, Billy Black, famous yachting photographer and our Head Designer, Kevin Burns. Along the way Billy shot some video footage that I thought sure you would enjoy.

And of course he also shot hundreds of great running shots which I will share with you in the days ahead. Here’s a sample to whet your whistle.
