The blessed 24 metre tall ship , The Joshua C , above , is one of many interesting vessels currently in the Magnetic Island marina . From Mooloolaba , on the Sunshine Coast , it was built over 13 years by Robin Cooke, an experienced sailor . In an ABC interview he said the 40 tonne vessel's name stood for Joshua, who succeeded Moses as leader of the Israelites , the letter C for Christ. Timber from a 1950s house and rosewood formed most of the hull , a sawmill donated the masts . During the interview Captain Cooke said he was dyslexic and many troubled teens had helped build the sailing ship .
