Today , I got the trim package stained ( rub rail & toe rail) I then painted the waterline on the Rudder ( Gloss White ) and the Spreaders ( flat White ) I installed the Rub rails first followed by the Toe rails , I then installed the fore and aft Cockpit trim . Then I was able to get 3 coats of Epifanes varnish on all the trim, Almost ready for rigging and Ballast. Here are the results
