Tim Hodgdon talks about 200 years of history and the future of Hodgdon Yachts

Tim Hodgdon, 5th generation to run the Hodgdon Yard in East Boothbay, shares the vast history of his family's yard. Over the years, they have built over 400 vessels, from Navy minesweepers to coastal schooners to high quality yachts. Earlier this year, they completed a vessel for the US Office of Naval Research. Tim says that Maine people have "huge skill sets" and their skills are transferable to any type of boat that they might choose to make.
