Aft cabin continued

There is not a lot to write about this week the main aim has been to finish sanding and then painting the locker doors I have got as far as the second coat of gloss paint, however the second coat is anything but gloss whether or not the weather was too cold overnight or not I don't know I shall give the doors a sanding and try again. I have masked up and varnished the door opening trim on the two forward front panels I had done the aft panels some time ago but then run out of varnish.


Door trim masked and varnished

I finished up this week by taken the sails off ready to go to the sailmakers for laundering and servicing, the UV sacrificial strip on the genoa is falling apart and requires replacing. The sails are getting on in years particularly the mainsail but it should have another season or two in it. I have ordered some more plywood so the plan this weekend is to rough out the shelves for the aft cabin so that I can fit them next week.
