About

I have been extremely pleased with the new Harken roller furling system and the other rigging work that John has completed. In late June we were gone for 10 days in weather that included winds of 25 knots with much higher gusts for several days of sailing. Liberty's rig performed and the Harken system was easily furled and reefed by hand.

          Detailed driving directions



By Sea

By sea Great Island Boat Yard is located at 43 degrees 49.792 N and 069 degrees 54.915 W in Orr's Cove within Quahog Bay. 

Quahog Bay is just east of Bailey and Orr's Island, accessible from the east via the lower New Meadows River or from the south in a straight line from a mark just east of Bailey Island.  

We are less than 5 miles from the Green #3 buoy located between Round Rock and Ragged Island.  With the prevailing southwest wind, sailors can sail straight up into our mooring field.

Two narrow cuts create a fully protected bay.  Orr's Cove extends to the north at the top of the bay.
