Well, first, a heartfelt THANK YOU to the generous donors who have helped us get closer to meeting our goal!
Second, work in the shop has begun! What you see above is the boatbuilder’s “form” (or “jig”, or “temporary frames”) around which the boat will be built. And here’s a photo of the first plank as it was put in place:
This build will happen over the course of December and January, and it serves, with the help of the kind folks at Community Boatbuilding, to help us learn the finer points of teaching the process. Once complete, this will go to the fine folks at Kayak and Sail Lynn for use by the kids and veterans of Lynn.
In the meantime, of course, we’re still looking for your help! Follow this link, donate what you can, and help us build our program! Donate to The Brickyard here!
More to come!
