Westport Builds Paint & Test Facility Westport Shipyard, Inc. has completed a state-of-the-art paint and test facility for its Westport, Wash., yard. The new building brings 120,000-sq.-ft. under cover at the plant. Westport is current- ly building five 106-ft. (32.3 m) yachts for Westship, Westport's Florida-based dealer, and also recently delivered two 95-ft. (29- m) boats for operation on Prince William Sound and in Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska. With a ceiling height of 50 ft., the 50 x 125-ft. (15.2 x 38-m) building will reportedly allow Westport to outfit megayachts under cover. The company will also be able to do startups and to test all systems, including main engines and gensets prior to launch. With more than one million btus of heat and 40,000-cu.-ft. per minute of air flow, the new facility will reportedly maintain accurate climate control regardless of the weather outside. Another feature of the facility is a high pressure water spray sys- tem. This system washes both building and yacht prior to painting. It will simu- late between two and three in. of rain per hour to test the entire vessel for the water tightness of windows, doors and fittings prior to launching.
