CB 38 Gertrude Steele Rockland Show

[CaptDave]

Great weekend in Boothbay Harbor even though the weather forecast was for downpours. Really no rain during the day amounting to anything. Really enjoy going there and looking at all of the DE boats heading to offload at the Coop. I did manage to get to the Miane Homes and Boat Show in Rockland and had a chance to get on the Gertude Steele once again. I only took a few pictures and the craftsmanship in this boat was incredible. This boat was a head turner as visitors were lining up to step on board and get a sneak peak at her. Stew and his wife Alice were welcoming visitors on board and I managed to take a few pictures. Wish I took a few more down below. I think him being at this show and showing what a DE boat can be will even place more orders for him and other builders. Wesmac had a 50' there and there was a 42' Duffy along with some others such as Ellis and John Stanley along with the Sabre, Back Cove and other production boats.

CaptDave- Thanks for the pics, that is a beautiful boat...what a beast. Stewart builds a top notch boat.

Wish I took a few more photos but there is teak everywhere on this beast. Up forward was a full berth and to starboard a set of bunks. The head and shower stall were to port along with the dinette. Awesome boat, I would be afraid to get blood on it, she is so pretty. Guess mine will have to be just a bit less nice so I can get blood all over the deck.

I was up there too. Its always amazing to me how wide that boat is. It looked as if you could put two of those West Bay 31's in that 34CB.

I was all into the Repco 30 "captain Jack" across the way.
