The time has come, my friends! If you’ve been to Milwaukee Makerspace since we moved into our current location in January 2013, you probably saw a boat being built. It’s been a project of the space, actually longer than we’ve been in the building! (It was started at our old space and moved to the current building.) Well, it’s time to launch… LOY will be put into the waters of Lake Michigan this coming weekend!

Willie has been working on LOY for years, and it shows. It’s a beautiful thing, and if you haven’t see it lately, or can’t make it to the launch, you’ll have a chance to see it at Maker Faire Milwaukee, September 23 & 24, 2017 at the Expo Center at State Faire Park.

I don’t know if Willie plans to smash a bottle of champagne when LOY launches, but he deserves a congratulatory drink when it sets sail. Great job, Willie!
