| Antique & Classic Boat Rendezvous |
07/24/2010 |
July 24-25, 2010
Saturday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Sunday, 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
Downriver Parade, Sunday at 12:45 p.m.
Come to Mystic Seaport for a gathering of classic vehicles just like any other, except this one happens to take place on the water!
The Antique & Classic Boat Rendezvous is a dazzling display of high-quality antique vessels built before 1965, including cruisers, sailboats, runabouts, launches and more. An award competition recognizes excellence in restoration, authenticity and workmanship.
Dressed and in pristine condition, approximately 40 classic vessels create a colorful gathering along the Museums waterfront all day Saturday and Sunday morning for your viewing pleasure. Sunday at 12:45 p.m., watch as the vessels make their way down the Mystic River in a jubilant, costume- and music-filled three-mile parade.
In 2009, we featured Little Vigilant, a vessel designed for Drayton Cochran and built by Abeking and Rasmussen in 1950. During this time, Mr. Cochran brought the Concordia plans to A&R beginning a long standing relationship between the two organizations resulting in the construction of more than 100 Concordia Yawls.
The 70' Little Vigilant was based on a larger vessel, Vigilant, a 100' sardine carrier style boat built in the 1930s. She was designed by Walter McGinnis to be able to navigate the inland waterways of Europe, and has a fold down rig and removable wheelhouse to enable this. Mr. Cochran used her for 6-8 weeks each summer in European waters, traveling as far as the East coast of Africa and the Baltic. She recently underwent an extensive rebuild and now operates out of New Bedford, MA.

| Brewer Mystic a Connecticut Clean Marina |
02/04/2010 |
Here in Mystic we have been designated as a State of Connecticut Clean Marina. There is a lot involved in becoming a clean marina and it has been an ongoing effort for several years. This in and of itself is not a simple task. Some of the things involved are Storm Water Discharge Permits, pressure wash water waste managemetn, hazardous waste management, manifests and recycling all play a roll in the process. We are proud of the way we take care of our marina and we hope and expect that you too will embrace these efforts.
Conservation:
Conservation is something we all must practice and there are many ways we can do it around the yard. For example, please dispose of trash and recyclables in the proper dumpsters. The dumpsters are maked appropriately, there are three for trash and one each for cardboard and bottles and cans. Waste oil should also be disposed of properly, not in the trash dumpsters but in the Waste Oil recycling bin. Please feel free to ask if you are not sure where something should be disposed of.Please don't leave your air conditioners on if you are not going to be on the boat. If you are leaving after the weekend and will not be back until Friday please feel free to give us a call and we will put you air conditioner on before you arrive at no charge. Don't forget to turn off the lights! Water is another precious commodity so please do not leave the water running if you don't have to.
Working together we can become a 'Clean Marina' in more ways than one!

PLEASE NOTE: cars blocking tractor/trailer and travellift access to boats greatly delays boat yard service and launching activity. Moving cars with a forklift, or calling in tow truck services, is something we prefer to avoid.

And make sure a current parking pass or permit is in your front windshield at all times. Thank you for your cooperation.

| SPRING UNCOVERING TIPS |
02/04/2010 |
Please note: Brewer South Freeport Marine prefers to handle the removal of all SHRINKWRAP covers from boats. This helps ensure that all material is properly packaged for recycling. The company that recycles our shrinkwrap film has strict rules for packaging procedures. If you wish to remove your own shrinkwrap cover, we ask that you PLEASE contact John, in the yard office, for instructions, and/or refer to the following list:
SHRINKWRAP REMOVAL FOR PROPER DISPOSAL
1. Remove all foam blocks and place in garbage bag for use next season. Store in Bay 3, under the stairs.
2. Remove the shrinkwrap door. If it is not damaged, remove the tape, roll it up and tie it. Store in Bay 3 for use next season.
3. Carefully cut away the belly band from the shrink wrap. Disposed of in dumpster, along with all nylon banding used to secure the cover. This is non-recyclable material.
4. While still on the frame, cut the shrinkwrap cover into 2-3 manageable sections. Roll and fold, and tie with scraps of removed nylon banding. Set these bundles in front of the Main Building, next to the dumpster.
5. Remove wood strapping and dispose of screws. Please do NOT drop screws in the yard! (Car and yard equipment tire punctures are a concern).
6. Take home short wood strapping for kindling, or cut into smaller sections and dispose of in dumpster.
7. Long strapping, with no knots, gets saved for next season, once all screws have been removed.
8. Save all 2x4 uprights.
9. All saved wood should be tied in manageable bundles and set in designated areas in yard. If you have any questions, please check in at the yard office.
If you have a FAIRCLOUGH FITTED CANVAS COVER on your boat, there is a proper way to fold the cover upon removal. Proper folding will allow for easy installation in the fall. If you wish to remove your own canvas cover, please contact John in the yard office for guidance.

| Tech Tips from Brewer Cove Haven Marina
|
01/20/2010 |
During the winter it is very important to check your boat frequently. Rain and Snow water have a way of finding its way into your bilge. Often the bilge gets so full that woodwork or machinery is damaged. You may want to install a "garboard" plug in the lowest point in the hull.
The plug can be removed during the winter and will permit the bilge water to drain out. We have installed dozens of these hull plugs and have prevented many boats from "sinking" on land.
RI State Law now requires that your boat be inspected for compliance with the no discharge law. Each boat will have a sticker issued by the inspection station. The inspection, which can be done by Brewer Cove Haven Marina, will determine whether you have the correct holding tank set up or if you have no capacity to discharge sewage into the waters of the state. Harbormasters will check for stickers and enforce the law accordingly. Give us a call if you want to have your boat inspected.
In recent years attention has been drawn to boating fatalities related to Carbon Monoxide poisoning on boats with engines or generators running. Most of the accidents involved boats with enclosures where the fumes were able to draft into the living spaces. CO as a gas is odor free and invisible. The solution today is easier than it has been because of the availability of CO Detectors. The new generation of Co detectors can be wired directly into the DC electrical system, which permits it to operate all of the time that the boat is in use. You can read about the issue in the December 2005 Practical Sailor.
As many of you have read, the shrink wrap recycling program is a great success. All of it was recycled! The program works like this; if you have had your boat shrink-wrapped, either have the staff remove or if you wish to remove it yourself, you should pick up the recycle bags at the BCHM store, remove the plastic, take off all ties, doors and other non plastic debris, place in a recycle bag and bring to the north side of the building #2. It will be picked up on a twice a week schedule or as needed. DO NOT THROW SHRINK WRAP IN THE DUMPSTER!!!

The no discharge law went into effect this past summer and every boat large or small requires an inspection sticker. Each head requires an inspection for compliance. The cost is standardized throughout the state at $35.00 each if the owner is present and the system is accessed. Brew Cowesett employs state licensed personnel who can assist you with your compliance. Call Matt StAngelo at 401.884.0544 for this inspection.

| Storm Warnings |
11/29/2007 |
The storm we had on the weekend of April 16th, 2007 caught many of us by surprise. Brewer Yacht Yards subscribes to Commanders weather, a service which caters the forecast to our specific area. I was able to email this information to the entire BFB contact list and as a result many of you were informed and able to prepare accordingly. Commander’s forecast was right on the money hour by hour. This is one of the many reason it would help us to help you if we had your email address. Please send your contact information to bgb@byy.com. We will NOT use your email address for any spam and it will be help confidential to Brewer Greenwich Bay Marina only. We will use if for reminders for out summer parties, combination changes to the restrooms and emergency notices.

Sailors take notice: SAY GOODBYE TO MUD SLIPS!! Brewer Wickford is now a DEEPWATER MARINA! We have dredged almost all of our 155 slips to a depth of TEN FEET at MLW. The dinghy dock is also now fully accessible at low tide. Completion of this project makes Brewer Wickford one of the best marina choices for New England deep draft sailors. Special thanks to Pyne, Phil and Adam from Tripp Marine Construction for doing such a great job.

| WINTER WORK IN PROGRESS |
01/26/2010 |
We are staying very busy with service work this winter. While the buffing and waxing, bottom prep and painting, running gear cleaning, adding new zincs and servicing seacocks make up the backbone of our winter service work, we have completed some larger projects as well. Collision damage, gelcoat repairs and paint jobs have kept the fiberglass and paint techs busy. The mechanics have completed transmission work on a San Juan 48, rebuilt a Westerbeke auxiliary, turbo washed smokey diesels, repaired several engines and outboards and installed a large dinghy crane on a new Grand Banks 46 Europa. The electrical techs have installed an inverter, new batteries and fresh cabling and wiring throughout a Krogen 42 and installed a new AV system on a Swan 44. Our carpenter has added new rails to a classic Graves sloop, crafted companionway drop boards where swinging doors once existed, replaced the garboards on a classic Lowell lobster yacht and completed numerous varnish projects. BWCM staff have also worked hard on the disassembly and moving of docks for our dredging project, reshingling of the mast shed and completion of the wooden fence at our eastern border.

| HOPE FOR HAITI |
01/26/2010 |
In the wake of the recent earthquake that devastated the small island nation of Haiti, Brewer Yacht Yards has made a $25,000 contribution to HOPE FOR HAITI, a well-established non-profit aid agency assisting in the relief effort. In addition, during the month of January, the Brewer Yacht Yard Group matched all donations made to Hope for Haiti by Brewer Yacht Yard employees. Jack Brewer commented that "events like this remind us how lucky we are...and how important it is to count our blessings, come together and reach out to our neighbors."
Brewer's donation to the people of Haiti is made on behalf of Brewer Yacht Yard CUSTOMERS and EMPLOYEES. Thanks to all of you! To learn more, visit www.hopeforhaiti.com.

| EXTREME MAKEOVER: MARINA EDITION...BUILDING FOR RENT! |
01/26/2010 |
The old Mast Shed Building at Brewer Wickford has undergone an extreme makeover in the past few months. No Ty Pennington, no volunteers, no "move that bus". Instead, marina staff and local contractors have come together to totally refurbish the historic structure inside and out. The process began with reinsulation and flooring of the 2000 SF main building. The bathroom was remodeled, new ceiling tiles installed, interior walls painted and all new outside trim, window frames and exterior shingles added. The two apartments at the building's south end have been totally redecorated inside and out.
The two apartments are currently occupied but we are still looking for a business to rent all or part of the mast shed. This is a GORGEOUS WATERFRONT PROPERTY which we will finish to suit prospective renters. Please drop by and have a look.

| SLIPS AVAILABLE FOR 2010
|
01/25/2010 |
Tired of the run all the way down the bay from Providence? Tired of crushing traffic and astronomical dockage rates in Newport and Jamestown? Wouldn't you rather keep your boat in a peaceful and quaint 1600's fishing village full of tasteful shops, gourmet restaurants and the largest collection of original colonial buildings in the United States? Factor in Brewer Wickford's hurricane hole status, nearby town beach, short ride to the airport and pastoral country surroundings and you will find that we are in a class by ourselves.
After decades of no vacancies, slips for most sizes of vessels are now available at Brewer Wickford Cove Marina. Please stop by or give us a call to reserve your slip before they are all gone. We look forward to including you in our Brewer Family.

| BREWER YACHT SALES AT WICKFORD |
01/24/2010 |
David McKenney is the broker at Brewer Wickford Cove Marina. Both Dave and the yard work for the same person....you the customer. There are several serious buyers looking for boats. We have just sold a Sabre 38, a Rampage 31 and a custom 40' sailboat. Activity is increasing steadily as we have recent offers on a 31' Downeast lobsteryacht, a nice 27' Boston Whaler center console and a beautiful C&C 38 sloop. Other nice vessels currently for sale at Brewer Wickford include a spotless Selene 36, a classic Block Island 40, a gorgeous Bluestar 36, a sturdy Fortier 33 and a beautiful Arundel 27.
It may still be a buyer's market but there is solid activity. This is a good time to purchase a boat and if you need to sell, the market is warming up nicely.
