Some cracking weather over the weekend spurred me onto to add the undercoat. Sanding in between coats and filling any blemishes in the wood and sanding back will hopefully pay off when the final coats goes on. Friends Kenny and Simon popped by to check on progress. I must remember to keep some spare paint brushes handy when such 'volunteers' visit! I've really enjoyed this weekend-there is something special about working on the boat in great weather at a lovely location , radio on and people stopping by…oh and a nice cup of coffee from the club house helped the day along too!

With help of a couple of friends we took down the mast and covered the boat up for winter. The tarpaulins had taken quite a beating previously and having the mast down would make covering up a lot easier.
In between bouts of rain, I got on with some much needed sanding and today applied the first coat of primer. Weather depending I want to get the hull done before winter truly sets in- aye right!
