AIDA
Under the ownership of Michael Mills, a restoration by Doug Hylan in Brooklin, ME sought to return AIDA as close as possible to an “as built” condition using the original Herreshoff techniques. Both the interior and exterior were restored and the work also included refinished spars, a new diesel, and new sails. This was the first major refurbishment of the boat since launch. AIDA was owned for more than 40 years by former Museum staff member and trustee Maynard Bray and his wife Anne. Bray oversaw the project and just published a book chronicling the boat, her owners, and the restoration. “AIDA: N.G. Herrehoff’s Finest Shallow-Draft Yawl.”
