    Today, before I finish the final 2 coats of Varnish on the hull, ( I decided to go with a varnished Hull no bottom paint or water line. Kate said you don't want to cover up the wood do you ? she wins ) I started by trimming the deck edge where the Cockpit coaming meets the deck, I then sanded the deck to 400 grit sandpaper ( starting with 220 ) I then applied 2 coats of semi gloss white to the deck . Here are the resultes

    After enough procrastination, and a lot of projects that I would like to start on I decided to finish her as a static ( less Sails ) So I started by rigging up the mast. I first made the Main Sheet traveler, then put the mast in the Mast step. Next I installed the main Sheet, and installed the Standing Rigging. I installed the Main winches for the main sheet and the jib. I then installed the steering stations, and then ran the Back Stay. Then I installed the Navigation Station. Next will be to make the 2 Rudder Blades, Cradle and install the Keel. Here are the results

    After some long contemplation, I decided that I would Varnish the Hull, With Epifanes . and rather than showing it being sanded and another coat being applied. I would show it after 4 coats have been applied sanding with 400 grit in between coats, and waiting 24 hours between coats . I will do one more coat and she should be ready to go . I will more than likely do a flat white bottom paint with a blue waterline. the slot for the tiller has been cut into the transom. Here are the results
