There are always interesting boats to be seen around Narragansett Bay, including some, such as this one, that had been restored by graduates of nearby IYRS (International Yacht Restoration School).
What an incredible job of restoration and ultimately, preservation of what is an obviously well built boat. As that tired old saw goes, "they didn't make 'em like that any more...," these pictures prove that sometimes, well worn cliches are anything but.
Unless I'm out of date, ALERIA was restored by Johanson Boatworks in Maine: http://www.jboatworks.com/projects/view/aleria-total-refit-restoration-a-bunker-ellis-42
