'Lobster Roll' ride returns to Rockland, Oct. 18

A well-equipped Nimbus W9 buttoned up against the Maine weather with full side curtains and an electrically powered sunroof. The mooring bridle takes advantage of both cleats on the bow. The electric anchor windlass can be operated with a remote control from anywhere on the boat; the remote also can run the bow thruster. The touches of orange are wind vanes on accessory whirligigs meant to deter gulls and cormorants.
