A week on the slip.

Every other year FL gets a week on dry land to have her bottom cared for. A good week for it weather wise allowing four coats on her bum, the gunnels and tunnel bands repainted too 

I also managed to rub down a rear cabin panel that has had two deep scratches in the paint, these have been there since before we owned the boat. They had been patched up but not effectively. 


Coming up the slip

Blasting crud off the hull.



Decided to sort out those cabin side scratches.


Scratches rubbed back and Aqua-steel applied before filling.

Panel rubbed down.

Undercoated



Waiting to go back in the water
