W W W. M A I N E B I Z . B I Z 27 J U N E 1 3 , 2 0 1 6 S M A L L B U S I N E S S F O C U S Across the harbor from Main Street, in its fi rst full year in operation, Lyman-Morse at Wayfarer facility has added a restaurant, an outboard engine shop, canvas shop, a brokerage and renovated work and paint bays. It is generating excitement around the harbor by drawing boaters and instituting a new regatta, the Camden Classics Cup, which will be July 28-30. e former Wayfayer Marine site was acquired last year by omaston- based Lyman-Morse Boatbuilding Co. " e marina is full this year and I think that's earlier than last year," says President Drew Lyman. " is is one of the best harbors on the East Coast, and to be front and center here is huge for us. We've got a lot of boat owners who traditionally store their boats in omaston and are excited about having a slip in Camden." For the Rhumb Line restaurant, Lyman teamed up with Chef Scott Yakovenko, who owns the Slipway res- taurant in omaston. e restaurant, which will serve modern American seafood dishes, will have both indoor and outdoor seating. " at's creating a lot of energy and a good vibe," says Lyman. Revamping old spaces Ben Curtis, a Los Angeles native with experience in bar management, opened the Fireside in early June, at 7 Public Landing. It is the site of the former Seabright pizzeria, so Curtis resuscitated the custom-made, wood- fi re oven that was in place and came up with a menu that includes not only pizza but all kinds of wood-fi re cui- sine, from lasagna to tapas. He spent the past winter renovating the space, painting and adding new décor. "We removed the big booths, which were taking up lot of space. And we removed other things, like the armoire. Why was there an armoire in a restau- rant?" Curtis wonders. " e idea is to have clean, open, comfortable spaces.
