The first coat of grey paint on the boot top stripe of our Didi 40 Cr

Installing the chart table timber on our Didi 40 Cr
Dodging the weather systems coming through Sydney I have managed two undercoats and one grey top coat on the boot top stripe on our Didi 40 Cr. The boot top stripe is a small area where I can practice my painting skills. One more coat of grey and I will be able to remove the blue masking tape.
Under the hull I have installed some of the chart table structure. Dudley has sloping top on the standard design but I will have a flat top with a rail around the edges. We usually leave our sailing instructions and course maps on the chart table and they stay in place better with a flat top and rails.
