This one from the Boston Globe is better - as it names the Registry!! Steve you made the big time :-)

Seems only two boats were destroyed - maybe 12 1/2's?

I'll have to add a link to the "Press" section. I'll also have to do something about the "billing". The Registry (currently) deals with sailing vessels only, of which 1100 were built. The article is a little mis-leading, which is my fault. I am considering adding in the Power boats in the next version.
I haven't spoken with Weatherly, though I will do so ASAP. She does own two 12's ... I hope these aren't the ones that were destroyed.
-
Seems like the other 12's she has in the yard survived - but a lot of the rigs did not. I assume a lot of that fleets 12's are at that yard....
-
I think nearly the entire Quissett / Woods Hole 12 fleet lives there.

Update from our friends at Ballentine:

Miraculously the bottom floor of the storage building at Quissett Harbor Boatyard was spared from the fire and the majority of the Doughdish and H12 fleet is unscathed!

Talk about your devine intervention.... :o

I was there over the weekend for a look and didn't try to go in because of the yellow tape. Other gawkers and I saw guys at work shoving all the water out of the building and didn't bother them. Everyone looked so sad, understandably.
