EAGLET had major work done in 1992 by Gannon and Benjamin, and a new centerboard truunk was installed in about 2000 by Harold Burnham. She has been kept in the Essex Estuary and at Eastern Point YC at Gloucester, but has not been in the water for the past three years. Hopefully, she will go back in the water for the 2011 season.
