Moving On - Almost

Construction of the keel is finished. The Greenheart hardwood strip is bolted down with hanger bolts (Lag bolts) and the resin runs are all sanded. The whole boat is sanded except for the top chine. Tomorrow I will fill little nicks and dings over the whole job and sand them fair the next day. After that I will be starting to paint the bottom to the waterline with Interprotect primer in readiness for antifoul paint.

Higher Places.

Our big strong ladder makes a great scaffolding plank. Could not reach the higher Places to sand.
