    I’m all in on that. Mine had dark blue stripes and a compass mounted in front of the centerboard. I loved that boat and have many fond memories of her.

    Hi Mark I got interested in sailing when I attended the Univ of Maryland dental school in Baltimore. After graduating I used to race an Olympic 470 #984. As I aged in life I sailed and owned a Hunter and later a Catalina. I miss sailing. By the way look at MeCray. His other prints are just as beautiful and impressive. Too bad he passed in 2017. Sincerely, RVB ( RICK)

    IMG_2743.mov IMG_2743.mov Hi Mark I noticed in your log introduction you mentioned Endeavour’s Americas Cup Race against Rainbow ( cup defender ). One of my addictions is collecting Nautical Art especially Americas Cup. Have you ever seen prints by John MeCray. He is a world famous Americas Cup artist. His paintings bring life to the subject. If you get a chance you might want to look him up and his paintings. His studio was in Jamestown Rhode Island. I met him in the 70’s when he had just finished painting Rainbow .That’s when I started collecting his art. As I mentioned look him up and enjoy! Here’s his artist proof.

    On to finish and mount the paddle.

    I wanted to weather the trap to have the appearance of a millennium under the sea. To achieve the effect I wanted I painted the dry trap with Tamiya Buff color #XF-57. After I applied the paint I let it set for 5 minutes but not to dry. Then I lightly sanded it with 120 grit sandpaper. I was very happy with the results . I then turned my attention to finish the crab float which I attached to the trap.
  34. RVB
    Today I finished and weathered the crab trap. I initially painted it dark brown and set it aside for a day to dry while I worked on the paddle and the trap float. The dark brown was was wood grain by Vallejo #70828.
