End of week 3 in pictures, first coat of paint on the hull!

A full rainbow shows during a brief break in the storm banging down on downtown Port Townsend 1/22/2012

First coat starts at the transom and continues until just past the viewing angle of this photo... as a bit of motivation.












Rob shows me how to epoxy/glass the pockets he just ground out of the starboard keel.

 New forward bulkhead viewed from the forward hatch.

 

Above, you can see the new stiffening bulkhead, connecting the aft of each keel to the sides of the hull.  This can be cut down when we're ready to re-install the berths. (next year?)

 Newly fiberglassed port side keel has just been faired.

New list for week 4,
1) the mast, cutting down a douglas fir tree next to my house and will dry it out here in the shop.
2) Mast step
3) Mast partners through the deck.
4) Mast opening
5) epoxy paint on repaired keels.

WooHoo!
