Now that the gunwales and inwales and the other trims and the two seats have had their build up coats of varnish, I am turning my attention to repainting the hull wit a new coat of hi build epoxy primer before finishing the hull off with a fresh coat of cream two pack marine gloss.
The Wayfarer dinghy rudder getting a refurb and a lot of coats of varnish to bring it back to life. Just got to glue up the tiller which had had glue give out after a lot of years. Using epoxy this time to ensure it lasts for many years to come.
The rudder cheeks getting their first coats of thinned varnish on all sides as I build up the layers back to the original spec and once this is done then rebuild the rudder once more.
I have to put my gazebo up over the Enterprise and make the area into a varnishing booth to stop any dust getting on to surface.
A few small jobs on the inside. One of them being fibreglassing in the front and back buoyancy tanks seats and build up coats of varnish on the woodwork before turning over the dinghy and start painting the hull with a two pack cream marine gloss paint.
The two hanging knees which are now coated with Hammarite siler paint and now ready to bolt back in the hull, so that they can tie in the deck beams to the hull frames. Once these are back in place the up strakes of the hull can be made up and fitted and the foredeck area will be at a stage to be re-planked when funds are available to do that job.
