Peter Kass Wooden Lobster Boats at Maine Boats Homes & Harbors Show
Wooden lobster boats built by Peter Kass of Johns Bay Boat Company in South Bristol, Maine will be exhibited in the water at the Maine Boats Homes & Harbors Show in Rockland, Maine August 14-16. Known for their solid build and high finish Kass boats have a following among Maine lobstermen and pleasure boat owners across the globe.
Regional owners will be sailing their Kass built boats to the three day show where visitors will be able to board them. Spruce Head, Maine fisherman Jim Tripp will have his 47' Outer Fall (above), which he launched May 16, 2015, at the show.
Launchings at the Johns Bay Boat yard are regularly attended by many of the other Kass boat owners. The annual Maine lobster boat races in Stonington feature an all Peter Kass boats race. Kass builds one boat at a time with his crew of veteran builders. Every boat is custom and unique.
