Yachting Center Eyed for Belfast
| Front Street Shipyard, Inc., a custom boatbuilding, service yard, and specialty composites manufacturing facility, plans to build high-end yachts at the former Stinson canning factory site on Belfast's waterfront. Partners in the venture are Taylor Allen, owner of Rockport Marine, Inc. (RMI); Steve White, owner of Brooklin Boat Yard (BBY); Kenneth Priest, president of Kenway Corporation in Augusta: and J.B. Turner, of Warren, who has managed yacht service and composite boatbuilding projects for major yards on the east coast. "We see this new facility as an immediate global competitor in all aspects of boatbuilding, repair and restoration, giving the yachting community another serious option for all their needs," Turner told the Free Press. |
