Painting the underside of the deck and cabin top has taken so long that I thought it would never be finished. It is not finished but all the lockers and painted inside and all the cabin ceiling side and under the decks is completed so we can screw on all the deck fittings. We had a busy bee today with the crew and screwed on a lot of fittings including the genoa tracks, cleats, mast base and halyard turning blocks, deck organisers and more stanchion bases. The quarter berth painting and V berth painting is completed and I have moved on to completing the glassing of the keel frames to the floor and the last of the epoxy glass lining in the water tanks. This does need a lot of preparation in sanding the gloss of previous coats of epoxy and removing all the dags and runs that would stop the new glass lying flat against the old surface. Another day should see the end of the preparation and some progress on the epoxy glassing. This job is on the critical path as I need to complete the floor before finishing the settee seats. One of the settee seats will hold the four batteries and I want those in place before I start the electrical work.
Deck fittings at last moving from the sun room to the yacht.
