The Emerald just needs a little polish. How hard could it be?
The Challenges Foundation recently received a donated 57 foot sailing vessel named The Emerald. The vessel was made by The Stone Brothers in San Francisco in 1925. It hosted President Ronald Reagan among other notable guests over the years. When we received it, the vessel required a little TLC.
Here are some photos of the renovation.

Two of our military veterans, Gary and Frances, stop in to admire the new crown jewel of The Challenges Foundation.
The Emerald's last day in dry dock. Back to the sea!
It's GO time! The Emerald's hull received the needed TLC. Now let's see if she floats. Wooden hull boats don't take kindly to prolonged separation from the water. The first day or so can be a nail-biting time.
Well, she's still got it!
The deck has come a long way, don't you think?
