Iowa (waterline) test build done! There are a few more details I have yet to finish due to missing pieces (such as the secondaries and the AAs). Next step for me would be putting the finishing touches on the instruction and maybe building the below waterline hull (keel).

This week we started servicing the new Redondo Beach Pallet shelter.
This project is being spearheaded by a local non profit. We are excited to see how this concept continues to expand and house homeless across our communities.
