The little yellow boat nearly finished with a few small jobs to finish her off.

The outside now just as to have the rubber fendering fixed in position 

Now the bottom as been painted with a coat of antifouling paint the waterline is well defined 

When the black rubber fendering is fitted it will break up the mass of yellow paint into a more understated yellow 

Now the cockpit s painted grey it is looking a lot better

 

The Yellow boat update

The Yellow boat is coming along and the outside is coming along with the antifouling paint applied to the bottom 

Now the bottom as been painted it breaks up the mass of yellow paint 

The back does not look so overbearing with the black antifouling covering the lower part of the Transom and the stainless steel on the outboard well also breaking up the mass of yellow paint

Once the black rubber fendering is bolted along the hull to deck joint the whole boat will not look so overbearingly yellow

Just got to order the bolts and washers and nyloc nuts to blot this black fendering to the hull

 

The Pilot 14 turns a bright shade of Yellow

The Pilot 14 has now turned to a bright shade of Yellow which the owner wish me to paint the boat from a very dark blue. 

So it begins from the grey to the bright yellow, it will be seen for a distance away 

The colour is bright, however you will never missing coming towards you from now on.

It will need a second coat to cover the white undercoat, however, I did not think it was going to cover with just one coat 

Finally finished the first coat. Put the second coat on tomorrow 

 

The pilot 14 changing colour from its primer grey to undercoat white and then it will be painted Yellow

First job was to mark off the waterline before starting painting the white undercoat 

It a large area when you have to paint the whole of the hull and the superstructure 

Halfway through the painting of the white undercoat

Just about halfway round and it is looking better, when this is done leave for a couple of days and then paint the yellow gloss paint

The superstructure finished off 

Now back to where I started. Just got to wait for the paint to dry.

 

Back from my travels around the country and now back to working on clients boats

 The Morgan Giles 30 hull painting to continue doing with more layers of Hi-Build Epoxy Primer until the hull is fair and ready to paint its final orange paint  

The deck fairing to continue until it is fair and ready to get painted with Hi-Build epoxy primer and then a deck non slip covering  

This pilot 14 is getting a overall colour change to be yellow all over 

This former sailing whaler, which for a time was a lady's rowing gig is now being converted into a motor launch for its latest owner to explore the local rivers and estuaries around North Essex.   

These have all been long term projects which hopefully will be coming to a close in the near future and so to make room for further projects to come into the yard.
