Southport Yacht Club
Tue, 07/27/2021 - 11:15am

There were some sailors counting down the days until the Southport Junior Yacht Club Sailing Foundation Bingo night on Thursday. We would like to thank all the local businesses who donated items for the Bingo prizes. When looking at the prize table, we felt goosebumps as we reflected on the generosity of our community. The Morrison Family continued their 10-plus year lucky streak while there were plenty of other winners to enjoy the prize collection which numbered over 50. A group of SYC...

To Bermuda by Tall Ship
Fri, 07/23/2021 - 12:00pm

It’s coming on to midnight and I’m standing near the bow of the Spirit of Bermuda , a 112-foot long, three masted Tall Ship that visited Boothbay Harbor the last weekend in June. The sea hisses along next to me and I’m mesmerized by the softly glowing, cloud-like star clusters of the Milky Way overhead. Maine is over a hundred nautical miles away. How did I end up here, I wonder? It all began innocently enough when I read in the Boothbay Register that three tall ships would be visiting...
Historic schooner in Boothbay Harbor providing day trips
Fri, 07/23/2021 - 7:30am

A historic gaff-rigged topsail schooner returns to local waters July 30 providing day tours. The Isaac H. Evans was built in 1886 and worked in the oyster trade until 1940. In 1971, the schooner was bought by a Rockland couple and later joined a fleet of local windjammers. In more recent years, the Isaac H. Evans has worked as a three to six-day charter boat. In 2020, the schooner took the year off due to the coronavirus. In April, Andy Tyska, Jessica Kelley and Josh...

Boothbay Harbor One Design – A sailboat for life
Mon, 07/19/2021 - 5:00pm

The Boothbay Harbor One Design or as popularly referred to as BHOD was designed by Geerd Hendel in the 1930s, one of Maine’s best designers, the Boothbay Harbor One Design has stood the test of time. While she is not a new design, in some ways she is more like a modern “Spirit of Tradition” racer than what we usually think of as a classic One Design. Unlike many classics she has very short overhangs, giving her a long waterline for a high potential top speed. Due to her light displacement and...
East Side Waterfront Park progresses
Mon, 07/19/2021 - 12:15pm

Boothbay Region Waterfront Preservation’s East Side Waterfront Park has come a long way since demolition of the old Cap’n Fish’s motel buildings. BHWP President John O’Connell said many might argue the contrary considering the landscape only appears to have the paving peeled back, but a lot of the work over the past year is underground. Said O’Connell, “We went down to the Railway Village the weekend of the Fourth, we had a picture of the Waterfront Park there and people were excited, saying, '...

Countdown continues to July 24 and 25 ‘Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club Regatta and Shipyard Cup Classics Challenge’
Wed, 07/14/2021 - 8:00am

Expanding the BHYC Regatta to include classic racing yachts requires understanding of what a classic yacht is. Essentially, a classic yacht is a wooden boat built at least 50 years ago, and for sailing aficionados, the name Nathanael G. Herreshoff is synonymous with classic yachts, yachting and the America’s Cup. The Herreshoff Manufacturing Company (1878–1945) was most notable for producing sailing yachts, including eight America's Cup defenders, as well as steam-powered vessels. Perhaps his...

For Adam Harkins, baseball is a family affair
Thu, 06/17/2021 - 8:30am

Adam Harkins thought he traded in his baseball coach’s cap this spring for good. He began coaching his son Finn at age 4, by placing the ball on the tee. As Finn grew, his dad accompanied him as a coach into Little League, Cal Ripken, Babe Ruth and middle school ball. But 2021 was going to be different. Finn was a freshman, so dad planned on simply watching him from the stands instead of the dugout. And it seemed a good time for the older Harkins to stop coaching. Adam is Coastal Maine...
