the cockpit is painted!

Finally we’ve finished painting. Four undercoats and two topcoats. This boat is a lot bigger on the inside than the outside. (In surface area anyway!)

We’ve got to come back and add some non-slip to the floor and seat tops, but we’re waiting for it to get plenty hard before we climb back in.


Drilling the holes for the bow-eye was every bit as horrible and scary as it looks. We drilled it oversize and then ran lots of epoxy inside to seal it. We’ll drill it back to the correct size and seal the bow eye with flexible silicon sealant.
