After 5 years of overseas sailing, long-time customer, John Reid, is setting off on a new adventure.  Partnering with Kelly Galyean, John has started a not-for-profit, which will provide sailing for underprivileged youth aboard schooner, Time of Wonder.  Time of Wonder is a 45’, gaff-rigged, reproduction Pinky schooner that will be hailing out of Great Island.

Time of Wonder is currently on her way up from Virginia and should be arriving at GIBY by the end of the week.

The four GIBY carpenters have been busy in their new shop working on a wide range of projects including:  a full interior on a 38′ sailboat; four teak deck projects; and this nav station upgrade.  Summer projects for the carpentry shop include: interior modifications on a Jim Taylor 41 sailboat; a full galley build in a cruising sailboat; and (potentially) a new teak deck on a 62′ passage maker.

Great Island recently completed a teak deck refurbishment on this Fleming 55.   The refurbishment included 100% refastening, 100% reef/re-caulking, and a full sand. 

Great Island has been commissioned to complete the build out of a 38′ Alujuela.  The custom interior, designed by Ed Joy, is well underway this fall.  All of the electrical and mechanical systems have been designed, and we are looking forward to a 2013 launch.
