It's called the New Moon and its' the pride and consternation of the Norfolk Yacht Harbor of California Oakland Estuary. Concocted by Sculptor David Brooks, it's an ark of many-splendored stain glass windows with more facets than a diamond. How it would fare in a gale in anybody's guess but it's kooky and wonderful. This unusual, almost, diamond shaped boat house that's built on the lower portion of a WWII Landing Craft Hull is crafted out of plywood. Sculptor David Brooks busy chiseling away a piece of wood. Side view of the boat shows seven different styles of windows that David incorporated. The front of the house David has different shapes of stained glass windows.
