About Me

Thanks to all of the help from Mandy Eagle-Farrar and Kathleen Mansure during the 13-14 school year in getting our blog up and running again. With the help of student insight, Rachel will be taking over much of the blog work for this year unless there is a student or two that get inspired to run the blog. Check out all of the amazing trips we've been on this semester!

All hands on Deck!!!

We are now officially sheltered from any storm!!  The windows have been put in the correct way (we had to remove them because they were upside down and letting water in) and are sealed with caulk around the seams!!!
Sara and Dan worked together to make the door frame for the cabin wall, we will be making a new door which will slide in and out in the grooves cut by Chris and Paul at the wood shop.  This will provide an easy access for the cabin and still provide ample protection from the rough seas ahead!
Thats our deck! coming along smoothly! Steven is showcasing his handy work with proper spacing between each board and securing them to each rib.  The varnished wood really stands out from the bright white paint and will look awesome for years to come!

You can also see the finished frame, which will be varnished before the project is completed.
Sarah and Andy work hard sanding the hull! we will epoxy and varnish the hull over the weekend to allow everything to dry. 
Matt worked with Corin to finish the cabin roof, with its curved features, this will be a really neat accent part of the boat once finished.  We got one coat of epoxy on today and will be ready to install the roof on Tuesday.


The goal now is to put the boat on the water for a "dry" run on Wednesday before showcasing the boat on Thursday to the public!
