Advanced Design 1953 Chevrolet 3100 half-ton pickup, WoodenBoat, and "Aphrodite"


Sean McKay is working on this truck at his shop, Affordable Performance, on the Naskeag Road in Brooklin, Maine--a couple miles past The WoodenBoat School and the other end of town from Brooklin Boatyard. Speaking of BBY, I went down to Center Harbor yesterday, a good blue day, steady cold 15 knot breeze from NW. There are maybe a dozen boats out on their moorings so far. The season begins.




Here's Aphrodite at the BBY last year. A North Shore cruiser. Long Island to Wall Street. She was rebuilt and restored at Brooklin and comes back every year for a tune-up. There are a lot of very talented craftsmen in this little Maine town.
