2010 - Building Sailboats for 4-H Camp




Fundraising began in 2010 to provide sailboats for the Jamestown 4-H Camp's newly established sailing program. Local clubs, marinas, and individuals adopted boats to be built and repaired by volunteers and youth, and guided by professional boat builders.
In the same year, renovations began inside our Museum building at 482 Main Street... opening up interior space for larger display objects and meeting space, and making the building handicap accessible. We are grateful to the many volunteers that came together and got it done!
And also in 2010, RCC's Marine Trades Program held its first class, ABYC certification on diesel engines, at our Gwynn’s Island Boat Shop location. A busy year for the foundation!
