There's a quality of life in Maine which is this singular and unique. I think. It's absolutely a world onto itself.

Pisces 21 sailing near Somes Sound

 

Afternoon fog gently rolls in from Blue Hill Bay


July weather is full of surprises.  Some days begin perfectly beautiful and clear only to finish with fog or late afternoon thunderstorms or sometimes the reverse.  We never really experience Summer doldrums in Maine and the variety keeps it fun and exciting.

 

Our work has slowed to a steady pace and now that some of our work takes us on the water  we are enjoying  all the beauty that Mount Desert Island has to offer us this great time of year!


 

As we wrap up our commissioning and busy delivery schedule we are preparing for the Maine Boats Homes and Harbors Show , quickly approaching on August 14-17.   In addition to our land exhibit we will, once again, have a demo Pisces in the water available for test sails. We hope that you can find time in your busy summer schedule to stop by to visit and go for a sail.


 

Cheers,

Pisces 21 Updates

We have several Pisces in the water in Southwest Harbor and Bass Harbor available for test sails. One fiberglass with an electric inboard, a second with the diesel option and, our beloved 'Biscuit' with a cold-molded hull. 

We had the opportunity to sail side by side last week which was very exciting! Our 'photo shoots' generally involve nothing more sophisticated than a cell phone but here's a quick clip:

We always love to receive updates from our  owners. It is so rewarding to hear that they are enjoying sails on their Pisces with family and friends. 

 

If you are considering a Pisces, New or Used or would like to experience the electric drive, diesel or no auxilliary please contact Jean to arrange a visit and sail.

'Vera Lee' is a beautiful Bunker and Ellis 'Lobster Yacht'.  She underwent an extensive restoration in 2008 including repowering.  Photos alone cannot capture all of the details and fine woodworking  of this timeless design.  If you are seeking a classic power boat, a visit would not disappoint.  Please see the detailed listing for more information.

Service News

We are approaching the end of our scheduled launches and working on Summer projects and  yard maintenance.  The 'crunch' is behind us and we are enjoying the many drop in visits by customers and friends to discuss projects, ideas or a favorite anchorage.  

We have already begun planning our Fall schedule and will be sending our Winter storage contracts soon.  If you would like to discuss winter storage or projects please contact Dave.
