January updates

CSF will be hosting its annual membership meeting March 2nd  at 7pm at the Air and Space Center in Hampton Virginia. Please stop in to learn about this amazing project and see how you may be able to help!

Now, onto the boat!


Work has been progressing. The most recent areas of work are highlighted in red. 

 Below, the stern windows are being framed  in. 
We have mostly been focusing on the deck beams and bulkheads in the aft area of Luna. Below, looking in the aft windows forward, the cabin bulkhead is in, the main companionway hatch is cut out and the bulkhead template for the head (or bathroom) is being cut to shape in preparation for this weekends work. This is the piece of plywood to the right of the picture.

Moving slightly forward and into the hull from the starboard, or right side, you get another overhead view of the aft cabin with bulkheads going into place.

We were treated to some visitors from the Coast Guard last weekend. No, they didn't come to inspect the boat, they were in the area and had the weekend off from training. Rather than sit around the barracks, they heard about us and stopped by to lend a hand! HUZZAH!

Below, more deck beams are cut and bolted into place! we expect to start laying decking over these shortly.

I was told I had to put a picture of myself in so people know i really do exist.


Thank you for following along as we continue to work on Luna. Please stop back in next week as we continue to make a dream a reality. If you are interested in volunteering of making a donation to help support construction please let us know.
