Lobster Yacht
Southwest Harbor Public Library
Description:
The term "Lobster Yacht" denotes a pleasure boat built on the lines of a working lobster boat. The term is more commonly used "away" than on Mount Desert Island. This name describes the look of these boats in a world where so many working and pleasure boats resemble each other. Boat builders on MDI would probably not use this term so this database generally uses the term "pleasure boat" and leaves the viewer to make his or her own distinction. The following publications and many others use the term Lobster Yacht: - National Fisherman, Volume 70, 1989 - Understanding Boat Design by Edward S. Brewer and Ted Brewer, published by McGraw-Hill Professional, 1993 - The Illustrated Dictionary of Boating Terms: 2,000 Essential Terms for Sailors & Powerboaters by John Rousmaniere, W. W. Norton & Company, 1998 - Wooden Boat, Wooden Boat Publications, 2005 - Sorensen's Guide to Powerboats, 2 by Eric Sorensen, published by McGraw-Hill Professional, 2007 [show more]

Community Sailing Center
Southwest Harbor Public Library
Description:
In 1973, Audrey and Jeff Berzinis and Bonnie and Tom Sawyer purchased the Southwest Boat Corp. yard and renamed it Southwest Boat Marine Services. It was in complete disrepair. While this reconstruction was going on, many times people would stop by and reminisce about the "good old days." New pilings, piers, buildings and more parking were added. In 1998, the Sawyers' opted out and the yard continues today [2011] with the Berzinis. In 1999, the MDI Community Sailing Center [began] renting dockage, storage, and office space at the site." - "History of Southwest Boat", Southwest Boat Marine Services site, Accessed online 11/04/08; http://www.southwestboat.com/info.html [show more]
