I decided to get the staining process going while the hull painting is going on. Figured I mine as well have these parts ready when I need them.

First coat of paint on the lower port side. I was intrigued by the use of green for the waterline paint. I believe it was Tim who used green. I usually use some version of red for antifouling paint. I dont know if the green is historically accurate, but its certainly a nice change. Phil

Thank you John.

While waiting for the epoxy to dry I figured I would stain the decks. I used my trusted go to stain, Minwax Golden Oak. For some variety, i have a darker stain that can on the deck houses. I tossed around the idea of adding nail holes but I decided against that. Really not visible in this scale (unless they are bleeding rust). I also epoxyed the oak display stand that i put through Dad's old router table a few days ago. Pedestals were ordered yesterday. More on that when they arrive. Phil

Thanks Rod. I am using your build and Schooners build for some guidance. BTW- I noticed that the 3 of us are all out of NC! Theres a coincidence 😁

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Palmerit. Phil

Planking, filling and sanding are done. I like to put a coat of epoxy on to help smooth her out and provide a good base for the Rust-Oleum paints that are coming next.

The planking is done except for the stern. Now starts the endless job of sanding, sanding sanding.

Continuing the planking process. I forgot to install the propeller before I put the garboards in position, so as a consequence I had to cut out a slot to fit the propeller shaft into. Then I just filled it in with a little filler.

Thanks Jacques. I'll keep that in mind. I figured most people would find it boring to see the same build described for at least the third time.
-
Thanks John. I appreciate your comment. Super glue makes everything go fast, sometimes too fast. Since the photo was taken. I've gotten half of the planking done. Phil B

Here is the ship as she is looking this morning. I just started the planking process. Unlike some of the previous builds that did a lot of steaming and soaking of pieces to make them more pliable, I literally manhandled them into position and using an abundance of super glue and clamps was able to make the curves more or less acceptable

Phil, there's a photo of the boat at the start of the thread. Sorry you missed it. Since the Seguin's build has been described at least twice on this group I will refrain from doing that a third time. The quality of the work on the previous two builds I'm sure will be far superior than my own efforts. So instead I will focus on posting occasional photos and showing the group the progress as I move along, gladly accepting any comments or suggestions as I move through the build. Phil B
