Peggy of New Point

The last of the deck frames is placed, and Peggy's deck framing is finished.

A very special morning in the long life of Peggy as she received the first of her new deck frames. Her new frames will rest upon two new inside clamps. Progress should occur quickly from this point forward.  This is an exciting time to be a part of this project. There is much to be celebrated as Peggy re-emerges as a living symbol of the maritime heritage that Mathews can claim with pride.

Peggy of New Point has been launched after spending two weeks on the rail. While out, she received a fresh coat of bottom paint and her buoy top was given a cursory sanding and painting.

Peggy was hauled out onto the railway at GIBS (the Maritime Foundation's Gwynn's Island Boat Shop.) A thorough inspection of her under water hull and fittings was conducted.
