Boatbuilding at the International Yacht Restoration School in Newport, Rhode Island

The crafty roots of New England’s long boatbuilding tradition are alive and well in Newport, Rhode Island. In this season one segment from Weekends with Yankee ( episode 101 ), Richard is in Newport, Rhode Island, at the International Yacht Restoration School . Instructor Warren Barker shares a tour of a 1939 boat that once belonged to J.P. Morgan, then they head inside to see the restoration work being done and learn how slow and painstaking (but rewarding) it is to go from tree to vessel. They also check out the work being done to a 131-foot Schooner.

About  Weekends with Yankee

Produced by GBH, Boston’s preeminent public media producer,  Weekends with Yankee  is a Telly Award–winner in the Tourism/Travel  category and was recently nominated for  Best New Series  and  Best Travel Program  by The Taste Awards. Series funding for  Weekends with Yankee  is provided by  New Hampshire Division of Travel & Tourism Development ,  Maine Office of Tourism ,  Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism ,  The Barn Yard ,  American Cruise Lines , and  Grady-White Boats .

We own a 1976 Hallberg Rassy 31 Monsun. We are the third owner of the boat. It has all original components. Aside from needed updates the Volvo Penta diesel engine has to be rebuilt or replaced. Would this be a vessel that the Restoration School would be interested in receiving?

Visiting the International Yacht Restoration School in Newport, Rhode Island

On yesterday’s blog, I mentioned that I spent last weekend in Newport, Rhode Island, visiting my good friends, Holly Bannister and Doug Newhouse.  It was an invigorating weekend of hiking, touring, and boating in and around that historic town.  On Saturday, we had the great pleasure of seeing an amazing school called the International Yacht Restoration School (IYRS).  IYRS is an internationally known school, focused on preparing students to enter and excel in all aspects of modern boatbuilding.  IYRS is a highly technical and deeply craft-oriented establishment that offers the most advanced technical training in Boatbuilding & Restoration, Marine Systems, and Composites Technology.  The entire focus is on making and building boats and I have to say that I was totally impressed with everything I saw at IYRS.

Loughborough Marine Interests (LMI. LLC) formed in 2002, started with general yacht projects and slowly morphed into a specialist group in the refit and restoration of classic or vintage wooden yachts. Located in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. We are in the last phase of a major restoration of Kirawan , a Philip Rhodes 53ft LOA, attending to finish carpentry, deck gear and safety items for her entry in the 2020 Bermuda Race – she was the 1936 Bermuda Race winner, competed in 2000, and now going for her third, 84 years after her first.

But Before Kirawan a trio of S&S designs, namely Dorade 52' , Skylark 53' , and Santana 55' and the Lawley Carina were a succession of refits/restorations with major hull work, significant carpentry above and below deck, spars and finish work with a team of skilled Shipwrights and all trades, managed and implemented here at LMI. A browse through our photo gallery tells the story of each of these and other projects.

For refit, restoration, or maintenance LMI is a flexible facility, with access to an elite group of sub-contracted specialists, where you can get as much or as little that fits your program. Storage our basic, restoration and refit our forté.

Rhode Island’s Department of Environmental Management has awarded over $3.1 million in grants to improve water quality and aquatic habitats across the state, with significant projects slated for Newport and Middletown.

The grants, funded primarily by the voter-approved 2022 Green Bond, will support 15 projects aimed at addressing stormwater pollution, flood prevention, and habitat restoration.

In Newport, the city will receive $400,000 to disconnect stormwater connections from the existing combined sewer-stormwater overflow system. This project will reduce flows into Newport Harbor and redirect runoff to a new separate stormwater system, providing treatment via green infrastructure along Bellevue Avenue.

Middletown secured two substantial grants totaling $800,000 for critical infrastructure improvements. The town will use $400,000 for the Green End Stormwater and Flooding Improvements project, which includes installing new stormwater best management practices to intercept and treat runoff from Miantonomi Avenue discharging into North Easton Pond. This pond is part of the Newport Drinking Water Supply System.

The project will also replace an undersized culvert at Green End Avenue that has caused localized flooding issues for decades.

An additional $400,000 will go toward replacing an undersized culvert on Berkeley Avenue in Middletown. The new culvert will improve watercourse continuity and aquatic habitat, manage peak flows, and enhance the resiliency of inland habitats and community infrastructure.

The grants are divided into three categories: non-point source and stormwater pollution control, flood prevention and mitigation, and riparian buffer and aquatic habitat restoration.

Other notable projects include a $255,000 grant to Burrillville for a vacuum truck to remove debris from the town’s municipal stormwater system, and $166,257 to Hopkinton for a high-efficiency street sweeper.

In Warren, $350,000 will go toward capping and stabilizing a former landfill at Jamiel’s Park, with goals including improving water quality in Belcher Cove and reducing coastal erosion.

The Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council received two grants totaling $255,311 for native riparian habitat restoration and streambank stabilization along the Woonasquatucket River.

DEM received over 30 grant proposal applications under the Request for Proposals released in December 2023. The selected projects demonstrate a commitment to innovative solutions for longstanding environmental challenges.

The grants also include $198,815 for managing and treating aquatic invasive plants in Rhode Island lakes and ponds, addressing a growing concern for the state’s freshwater ecosystems.

Full List of Grant Recipients

Town of Barrington – Water Way End-of-Road Retrofit   ($44,000):   Barrington, in partnership with Save the Bay, will retrofit an existing stormwater management structure to better address stormwater pollution and improve regular maintenance. The retrofit will include installing tree trench BMPs in the drainage area to reduce the volume of stormwater runoff and a sediment forebay at the end of Water Way.

Bonnet Shores Fire District – Wesquage Pond ($75,000) :  The Bonnet Shores Fire District will complete planning, design, and permitting for a limited phragmites management program and the future construction of hydraulic and stormwater controls associated with Bonnet Point Road to flooding management of peak flows and mitigate flooding. One aspect of the project involves equalization pipes within Wesquage Pond in to provide additional outlet capacity during peak flows to Narragansett Bay. 

Bristol County Water Authority (BCWA) – Upper & Lower Kickemuit Dam Removal ($100,000) :  BCWA is in the process of removing the Lower and Upper Kickemuit Dams in Warren to restore the Kickemuit River closer to natural conditions while improving water quality and aquatic habitat conditions. This funding coincides with a Section 319 Nonpoint Source Grant ($400,000) from DEM towards this project. 

Town of Burrillville – Vacuum Truck ($255,000) :  Burrillville will purchase a vacuum truck to remove debris from the Town’s municipal stormwater system. Regular removal of debris reduces pollutant loading to receiving waterways and improves the working life of the infrastructure. 

T own of Hopkinton – High-Efficiency Street Sweeper ($166,257) :  Hopkinton will purchase a high-efficiency street sweeper to remove debris from roadways recommended for rural road conditions. Removing debris from roadways reduces the volume that reaches waterways and improves maintenance of stormwater infrastructure.

Town of Middletown – Green End Stormwater and Flooding Improvements ($400,000) :  This project will install new stormwater BMPs to intercept and treat runoff from Miantonomi Avenue which discharges into North Easton Pond and replace an undersized culvert at Green End Avenue that has caused localized flooding issues for decades. North Easton Pond is part of the Newport Drinking Water Supply System.

Town of Middletown – Berkeley Avenue Culvert ($400,000) :  This project would replace an undersized culvert on Berkeley Avenue with a new culvert that improves watercourse continuity and aquatic habitat, management of peak flows, and resiliency of inland habitats and community infrastructure. 

City of Newport – CSO Disconnections ($400,000) :  The City of Newport will disconnect stormwater connections to the existing combined sewer-stormwater overflow (CSO) system reducing flows into Newport Harbor and re-route runoff to a new separate new stormwater system that will provide treatment via infiltration via green infrastructure along Bellevue Avenue.  

City of Pawtucket – Daggett Avenue Green Infrastructure ($400,000) :  Pawtucket will install stormwater green infrastructure along Daggett Avenue to reduce runoff volume that will result in improved water quality in the nearby Ten Mile River and less flooding in the immediate area. 

Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management – Pawtuxet Depot Floodplain Restoration ($110,000) :  DEM’s Division of Planning and Development will restore floodplain habitat and create public recreational access to the Pawtuxet River at a site in Cranston that was previously used as a storage area. The project will remove approximately 20,000 square feet of impervious surface and restore 4.25 acres of floodplain habitat.

Town of South Kingstown – Indian Run Brook Restoration   ($66,350):  South Kingstown will mitigate stormwater impacts in the impaired Indian Run Brook as it passes through the town-owned property between the Neighborhood Guild and Village Green Park. The project would remove impervious surfaces and install stormwater green infrastructure BMPs.

Town of South Kingstown – Indian Lake – 2025 Treatment for Hydrilla ($155,000):  The Town of South Kingstown is receiving this funding to support a second-year herbicide treatment for the invasive aquatic plant Hydrilla in Indian Lake. The first-year treatment was organized by DEM and was funded by a separate United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) grant. This project is deemed a priority to control the population to prevent wider spread of this aggressive invasive plant. 

Town of Warren – Jamiel’s Park Landfill Capping and Shoreline Restoration ($350,000 ):  Jamiel’s Park is a town-owned 12.5-acre property that offers recreational and green spaces in a Brownfield location that previously served as a private landfill. Warren will use funding for Phase III of a long-term project designed to cap and stabilize the former landfill with the following goals: (1) improving water quality in Belcher Cove; (2) reducing coastal erosion; (3) reducing coastal and inland flooding; and (4) mitigating further marsh degradation along the Palmer River.

Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council (WRWC) – Lower Woonasquatucket Native Riparian Habitat Restoration ($27,898):  WRWC will use funding to address invasive species at the Cathedral Art Metal Company, Inc. and areas along Promenade/Kinsley area of the Woonasquatucket River and restore the areas with native plants.

Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council – Manton Streambank Restoration ($227,413) :  WRWC will use funding to stabilize and restore approximately 700 linear feet of eroded riverbank along the Johnston/Providence boundary. DEM has awarded WRWC a Section 319 Nonpoint Source Grant ($224,000) towards this project. In addition, WRWC has secured significant outside funding in order to complete the overall project.
