"MANSET, Me., Feb. 10 (AP) Yacht builders of Manset have resumed an art dormant since pre-war days, the fashioning of king-sized pleasure craft on Mount Desert Island. Of "two sixty-footers now building, one is a future. Bermuda race contender ordered by Harry G. Haskell Jr. of Wilmington, Del. and Northeast Harbor. The other will fly the flag of Cummins Catherwood of Philadelphia. The yachts are. on ways of Henry R. Hinckley & Co. Shipwrights expect Mr. Haskell's craft will be launched in April or May. The tentative date for the other
launching is June 17."
The Catherwood boat was the Valhalla. The Haskell boat was the Nirvana.
