Summer finish work


Cotton and Oakum are pounded into the seams under the waterline


Alexa Stern helps paint the floorboards 







Seam compound is spread into the seams ontop of the primed cotton and oakum


Screw holes are filled with fairing compound 




The new oars are brought out of their boxes and tested for fit




The rope chafe guards are pretty cool!



The old drain hole is covered


You can see here that she is holding water!  A sign that the cotton and caulking is doing its job.



The new drain plug thru hull is installed



Two fresh coats of green bottom paint are rolled on


The topsides are primed with red lead



The first coat of semi gloss white is brushed on to the topsides by Alexa Stern




Here she is on the trailer with one more coat of topsides paint to go!
