When your dad says "preperation is the key to a good finnish" and all you want to do is go sailing you tend to try and speed up the process. enough prep already lets get to the top coat!

The new whiplash mascott!

This is a sneek look at what the new whiplash mascott will look like

and finally some paint goes back on.

A touch more sanding (voice from father in my head) "its all in the preperation my son!!!"
ok floor swept, boat swept, dust off hulls, water sprayed on the floor to prevent dust kicking up, changed dusty clothes, coating of thinners and one more rub down for good luck. now for the painting!!
And we are off good by wood hello sweet paint job.
varnish the decks or pain? varnish or paint..... PAINT
Yep both hulls what as you like
Under coat why whats the point?? 3 different paints why cant there be just one??

finally some more work underway

oh yeah thats right i cracked the deck sitting on it the last time i sailed the boat better throw some glass and resin at that crack!! (the crack in the boat not.... never mind) go the heater!
