Paint

Starting to get some paint on the bottom. I thought about having it sprayed by a pro, but instead I'm rolling on an oil-based porch paint. Still have a couple coats to go in these pics.

Miscellaneous bits

Here are a few shots of some recent work. Before painting, I had to install the keel. It is a full-length keel that is about 1 1/2 inches deep at the aft end and tapers to nothing near the curve of the bow.
Also, I had to cut the opening for the Anderson bailer. I have also been building the masts which are each made of three sections of T6061 aluminum tubing sleeved together with epoxy and fiberglass bushings.
