    I've reached an interesting stage. I still have the portside of the hull to finish sanding and painting, but I am now thinking about aspects of the rig. I want to fit a timber arch at the rear of the cockpit to take the mainsheet and a cockpit while at anchor or putted up on the beach.

    Still looks good, the second coat has a deeper resonance.  Will look lovely slipping along afloat.

    That's a first coat over white primer. The 2nd coat will be darker. Hopefully friday.

    I was beginning to wonder if I would ever get to this stage, but first top coat on one side.

    Sanding progresses, and one side of the hull is almost done. Just two small patches to go. I have been using the random orbital sander for most of it but I have had to use the belt sander on a few stubborn bits. Using the belt sander requires a very zen headspace...a slip in concentration and you've gouged the ply.

    Just letting you know...

    I ain't dead, and neither is the project. I just had a few other things in life to take care off, and today is way too miserable to do sanding. :)

    Michelangelo took a long time to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.  I'm sure Redwing II will be just as beautiful when you finish.
