Paint Prep Complete

The Sunshine yacht tender 'Wolf' is really nearing the stage of completion. Only two more coats of paint need to be applied. Between coats, Ezra and John are finishing off the final little details such as installing the name plaque and the davit lift points. The sailing rig has also been completed (see the picture of the mast being rounded on the router)

Once the Sunshine wheels out of our painting room, the Christmas Wherry 'Gertie' will take her place. The final sanding was done today. The amount of paint prep that goes into these boats never ceases to amaze me. The 'wear shoe' (the pieces of wood that protect the keel) were built and installed this week as well. Other details such as oarlock blocks and belay pins have also been checked off our to-do list
