Thats not exactly true, but it feels good so say it and mean it... at least in this context. Yes folks, Greg finally said "good enough" and decided it was time to paint. In a desire to support this decision (and get a coat of paint on the boat before he changed his mind), we did a rare Saturday session. Between the final round of sanding (a quick but thorough sanding of both transoms and sides with 220-grit sandpaper), prepping the surface, mixing the paint, and the roll and tip process, we put in roughly four hours.We had the little Ozzlet there to help us out. Shes a great little photographer, and she also helped us prep the surface, paint a little of the hull (rolling, not tipping) and she watched Gregs girls.
On Tuesday (our regularly scheduled boatbuilding day), we will do some light sanding as needed and apply a second coat of paint. Were planning to flip the boat sometime between late November and mid-December.
I know well be doing some touch-up sanding between coats, and I understand that well be doing another round of sanding and fairing when we build the deck and cabin, but it shouldnt be quite as long and arduous as the hull. I cant describe how gratifying it is to be out of sanding and fairing hell.
I have several more pictures here...
