Joels daughter and son in law(which own Rockport Marine) own Northern Crown. The owner that also owns the boatyard, doesn't do anything beyond what the boat needs. Few gizmos onboard, it looks unchanged, they keep it very simple. It's a low maintenance wooden boat, now owned by it's second boat builder, that didn't build it.
Here's Snowstar which is owned by a friend, Tom Kiley. I didn't know Mr. Kettlewell owned her. Toms father also owned Snowstar for years and then it went out of the family, but is now back. Tom and his wife love this boat and have been very successful racing it.
These are terrific boats. There are several more Neilsen boats that are stored here.
