Annie T - a Concordia 31

Out for a Sunday afternoon cruise to Georges Harbor with friends Tom and Stacy I spied in the cove behind the old Burnt Island Coast Guard station a wooden mast and a flash of varnished mahogany.  Of course I headed over and found the Annie T .  Its owner Tony Dall was, of course, happy to talk about his boat.  It was more than a day's work to build it even by the legendary Maine boat builders Paul Bryant and son's Riverside Boat Company on the Damariscotta River in Newcastle, Maine .  [You can learn about them from this write-up: Paul Bryant to Talk About Boats in Newcastle - The Lincoln County News]

Double planked mahogany, it was designed by C. Raymond Hunt of the [still in business]  legendary Concordia Company.  You'll find the boat's specs here in a classified ad for another one. - gwc
