Alec Brainerd of Artisan Boatworks in Rockport, ME will give us a tour of his restoration of the Fish Class SCULPIN. He'll also talk about building Fish Class replicas at his shop. SCULPIN will be at the museum for the 7th Classic Yacht Symposium and will be available for viewing.
This presentation discusses the origins and history of the Herreshoff 16-foot Class (aka Fish Class) from 1916 to 1938, with particular emphasis on HMCo #816, SCULPIN. It goes on to recount the later history and 2016 restoration of SCULPIN at Artisan Boatworks in Rockport, Maine, and the construction of a new Fish Class replica called TULIP. General sailing characteristics and identification of existing boats are also covered.
After many years working in boatyards as a shipwright and crewing on large classic yachts around the world, Alec, a Maine native, founded Artisan Boatworks in 2002. He lives in Rockport with his wife and two daughters. Alec and his family enjoy skiing and the Camden Snow Bowl in the winter months, and sailing their Sparkman & Stephens yawl NORA in the summer. For more information about restorations and construction of new replicas at Artisan Boatworks, please visit www.ArtisanBoatworks.com.

Please join us for this special weekend of classic yachts
Classic Yacht Symposium: May 20th-22nd
This lecture is presented as part of the
7th Classic Yacht Symposium. A collaborative event to enhance understanding, appreciation and exploration of ideas on all aspects of Classic Yachts. CYS is unique in its special collaborative atmosphere because the event attracts a mix of owners, designers, builders and enthusiasts who gather biannually to celebrate the fine yachts of a bygone era and share their thoughts on the challenges of preserving, restoring, sailing and racing them.
"HMM's biennial Classic Yacht Symposium is like
Woodstock for Classic Yacht enthusiasts."
