We finished up the Sunbrella cover for St. Jacques. Skipper did the sewing, and got it done even with my help. She has made several covers and we incorporated the features we like to make a simple cover, robust enough to ride down the road as well.
Tie down straps as well as a drawstring pocket. Reinforced bow and oar lock points.
Back to work on Viper. Sanded off more old paint.
Sanded the hull with 80 grit on a random orbital sander. Vacuumed the hull then wiped with TotalBoat Special Brushing Thinner to remove sanding residue.
Poked holes in the rim of the can to help primer drain back into the can.
Time to prime, getting on to the fun stuff.
Rolled the TotalBoat primer.
Spilled primer, decided to make another floor Sunfish.
The primer covered great and will make a great "show coat" for fairing. It looks perfect from about 10 feet, but get closer and the little bumps and dips start to appear. More work to do.
No vacancy in the carriage house.
Log of Viper.
