Expanding boat company seeks new emissions permit

TOP: Performance Cruising owner Tony Smith talks about his company's boats, the Gemini catamaran and the Telstar 28 trimaran. The Annapolis company plans to expand its boat-building operations, but is facing some resistance from neighbors in getting a new air-emissions permit from the state.
BOTTOM: Glenn Pierce seals a bag around the fiberglass mold of a hull for a boat he's working on at Performance Cruising.
