The 85' x 22' wooden scalloper Miss Stevie B was on the rails in June at Chesapeake Marine Railway in Deltaville, Va., for repairs and annual maintenance. "We are doing multiple planking repairs to the port and starboard sides," says Jon Farinholt ofChesapeake Marine Railway. The boatyard will also be replacing steel plating on the sides of the boat that protect the planking when the dredges are hauled aboard. "The steel is very thin in places and has rusted through in other places," Farinholt says.
