11-15-03: After a lot of hard work, wet sanding, compounding, waxing and polishing I've finally got a finish on my epoxy paintwork that I'm happy with, when the sun shines on my upturned hull it's dazzling! The next step is to fit an oak keel strip, then make and fit some fender/spray rails and get the hull back up the right way. As it's too dark and cold to work in the evenings after work now, I've been spending some time in the workshop making some of the fittings, I've almost completed a set of Mahogany and polished Aluminium windshield brackets, and have cleaned up an old cable steering drum that I picked up cheap on eBay.
I've bought a lot of fittings on eBay, including some nice Chris Craft style
teardrop cleats and fairleads (chocks to you!), a pair of chrome framed step
pads, and a nice NOS vintage Sea King steering wheel. It's going to look
great with all these nice dress up parts on it.
