Chase Refit Project 2002
In October 2001, Chase was moved to the Landing School in Kennebunkport, Maine. The Landing School is renowned for it's marine curriculum, which includes their Boat Building Program, Design Program, and the Systems Program. Chase is being totally refitted by the students of the System Program, who are using her as their educational "platform". As you can see from these pictures, this is no small refit - bulkheads, through-hulls, hatches, ports, instruments, wiring, plumbing, etc., etc., are all being fully replaced. And, some new stuff is being added: winches, a rebuilt rudder, a hydraulic autopilot, refrigeration. The other thing you'll see from the pictures is the skill with which the work is being done... we're looking forward to an all-new Chase in the Spring!
