Paty spending her Vacation in Raleigh painting my boat.
Roll on, Brush out, wetsand between the 6 coats, 420 sq feet of surface. What have I gotton into.
Ok lets start on the outside. Paty was the only one who could fit under the tarp to paint the deck, thank you Paty. I
did the Red hull with a base sealer and 6 coats of Intrulux wet sanding between coats.
Its taken lots of work from the whole family to get to this point.
Well
what do you think?The "ALOHA BANKS" Next we will go inside through the new Companionway and down the
new Teak steps to the semi finished cabin. I used Teak on the outside, on the stairs, mast step and all the wood that could
contact the bilge area. The total inside girdle line that the rub rail screws into is also teak. The rest of the interior
is Mahogany plywood with Cuban Royal Mahogany for the cabinet work and all the trim. The last wood will be the sole (floor)
and it will Mahogany for a little more color with carpet in the front salon. This will also blend with the laminate which
will be on the "V" birth hull sides.
Head is now starboard, galley port. Notice the sealed quarter birth behind the galley.
