Closing Time

The launch date is fast approaching, April 30th is right around the corner. Our shipwrights and volunteers have been working long hours and going for the last push to get Christeen in excellent shape in time to show her off to all onlookers. The final plank, the gar-board plank, as seen below is getting fitted and put into place. With the gar-board plank in place and the caulking nearly finished all that is needed is a final fair and sanding of the planks, finishing up the work being done on the cabin tops, cap rail, mast and standing rigging and some other minor details. Then the final touch, a glossy paint job, all nice and shiny.
