Adiourn LMB/1 8/13/97 The Boat Builders and Planners Cullan Erica Jennie Melissa Paul Ray Richard Sara Slava Tanika Tennie Tiffany On May 5th, 1997, teens and adult volunteers came together in a garage in Plymouth to start a very special project — the Boat Project. These pictures capture some of the moments shared by this industrious group as they worked toward completion of two beautiful new boats. The boats however, were not the only thing built during these past few months. Both teens and adults have built self-confidence, new skills, friendships, and a better understanding of themselves and each other. Welcome to our "scrapbook." Getting started The boat builders start construction of the frames upon which the hulls will take shape. Putting it all together Many wood screws are required to assemble the hull. Cordless drills and screwdriver bits make a tough job easier. The Volunteers Gene Borochoff Brad Buxton Sean Callinan Tom Grue Chris Heule Matt Johnson Dan Jones Curt Krizan Robin Maynard Chuck Pursley Bruce Royce Colleen Simpson Tom Tucker Righting the hull S» _ After the sides and bottom are joined, the hull is "righted" so that work can continue on the inside. Seats and bulkheads go in next. Interviews Midway through the project, the builders are interviewed to find out what they like and how the project is going. and yet more sanding An adult volunteer tries his hand at the sanding job. Priming and painting Paint means we're getting near the end. The builders have decided that Whispering Jewel will be green and Purple Haze will be... purple, of course. It's Time to Celebrate! At last! All hands on deck. The big event is about to occur. Purple Haze and Whispering Jewel have passed their water trials with flying colors and it's time for the official launching ceremony.
