Event Description
Our CAUSE is to save lives after coastal disasters and provide humanitarian aid.
To achieve that, we are building a purpose-designed rescue vessel that can carry food, water and medical supplies and doctors.
Now we need help - we're in the final run-up to commission Thunderbird 2 and relaunch, the machinery is being completed and the main job left is to paint the hull, some cabin carpentry, put in plumbing, 12v and 120v electrics and ready her for final launch and sea trials prior to placing into service.
SIGN UP HERE IF YOU'RE LOCAL AND WOULD LIKE TO HELP!! We are working on the boat 7 days per week, just call Captain Ray on 408-256-1290 to make sure someone's at the boat if you're coming.
