During this week, I have been sanding and varnishing the Hull, rub rails and toe rails. for the sanding. I started with 400 grit sandpaper and worked my way up to 800 grit sandpaper. I then would apply varnish wait 24 hours and re do the process. ( sanding and varnishing ) there are 6 coats of Epifanes varnish now on the Hull. I am pleased with how the varnish turned out, Next will be to complete varnishing the Spars ( mast and boom ) they currently both have 2 coats. Here are the results

Today, I finished making the Spars ( Mast and Boom ) I started by making 2 new spreaders ( I did not like how the first ones turned out ) I then drilled the hole's for the standing rigging and finalized the sanding. Next I installed the spreaders and Gooseneck. Next will be to apply the first coat of varnish and to varnish the Hull ( 3rd coat ) Here are the results

Today, After another coat of Varnish was applied to the Spars ( Mast and Boom ) I turned my attention to installing the Cockpit coamings. I started by finalizing the fit. I then made the brace that fits between the Coamings on the forward bulkhead. Next, I made the forward Coaming block, I ( once satisfied with the fit ) I installed the coamings brace and block. I then stained the block and brace cherry red. Next will be to varnish the Cockpit Coamings. Here are the results
