Windjammer Area Boatshop Rockport Marine

Right on Rockport Harbor is one of Maine's finest wooden boat shops.

Rockport Marine restores, builds and takes care of wooden boats of many types. Fifty year round employees work here.

They are currently building an 85 foot sail training ship for the Bermuda Sloop Foundation. Over the last few years the shop has been refitting the Camden based daysailer "Surprise."

Maine Windjammer Lodging: 7 Mountains Motel

Spending an extra day or two before and/or after a sailing trip is very nice, especially in a great area like the Maine coast. The fancier inns can be pricey, but there are some nice little motels.

7 Mountains is one such place. They have 14 rooms, a heated pool. Their location is right in the midst of the schooners in a quiet location off Rt. 1. and provide a light breakfast.

Two people I met recommended this motel highly. Room prices are from $50 to $90.

7 Mountains Motel is in Rockport Maine; Home to Schooner Timberwind.
