Winter is here, nothing getting done.

So not having a heated boat shed makes for little motivation.




But an update so far on a few tasks completed is long overdue.

Been finishing the steering quadrant, tiller, and tiller heads, though they need a bit more polishing up.



As well as painting on the boom, with a test fit of the sheave boxes, all painted up red.






Before it got cold - this summer I managed to get the topsides painted, non-slip on, and the hulls with a couple coats of paint. That still needs sanding down and recoating.. doesn't look at all professional at this point (if ever). Dagger boards have some paint. Rudders are primed. Still need to figure what bottom paint to use.










I have begun doing some rudimentary electrical wiring in the hulls and adding some plumbing piping, but don't have any photos of that. I've skipped, in this update, all the previous work of sanding, priming, sanding and priming more, and painting.. and adding non-slip. Paint was all done with old System 3 linear polyurethane and the non-slip was Kiwi-grip.
