Hudson River Sloop Clearwater was shuttled by the tugboat "Cornell" from Saugerties NY to Albany NY on her winter work platform, the barge "Black Diamond". The forward section of the hull was extensively rebuilt with the old red oak framing being replaced with white oak. A few hours later, Scarano's giant Travelift gently picked it off the barge and deftly set it down on land for the night while the hull was given a final coat of bottom paint before launching it back into the river. A week later Clearwater was nearly rigged and ready to sail. |
