and some Sjogin porn. Making slow progress on this years projects. Started the finish scrapping and sanding on the hatch frame. Also removed a punky spot on the frame on the starboard side. Will need to fit a dutchman before varnishing commences; hopefully this weekend. Also finished scrapping the hand rails. They will need a good sanding to fair them. This is probably the last time I can get away with refinishing them as they are getting kind of skinny.
Pics follow:
Evidence of surgery. Punky wood successfully removed.
Finished with the heat gun (for this year). Now sanding and filling and fairing (and more sanding) begins.
Paint be gone!
Light at sunset fills the shed. You can see where I’ve been picking at the hull paint. The topsides are paint sick and she needs to be wooded. Next year…..No, really.
Aft view. At times like this I squint as hard as I can to imagine her done and ready to re-launch.
