After a weekend of sailing it was back to sanding the undercoat on Monday. We did take time out to get the car serviced and to have coffee but the rest of the day was sand away. Today there was more sanding before applying two coats of two pack polyurethane topcoat to the cabin sides, gunwales, coamings, cockpit seats and transom. The cabin top has a single coat as I could not get to it to do a wet on tacky second coat as I could the rest. The rest of the deck and cockpit floor will have non skid with the pain roller applied and the non skid shaken on. The weather forecast is for another good painting day next Tuesday so I might try and get the undercoat on the topsides that day.
Meanwhile Elaine had bought a nice colour coordinated doona cover to go with the light grey we have selected for the seat and mattress covers. We are thinking of mid grey towels with the yacht name in yellow stitching.
