What this was originally for: In order to hit our goal of launching in the first half of 2023, we need to hire a professional, experienced boat carpenter and pay them for their time and talent. We also have some rigging costs that have come up that we need to fund.

What it means: In the style of a traditional family crest, our Community Crest has symbols of Arabella all around her. Oak leaves surround a shield with the A2A logo at center. An adze crossing a caulking mallet represent two iconic tools used during the layup of a backbone (the start of a build) and the completion of a hull (preparation for launch). Akiva watches over it all, and is crowned a heckin' good boi.
