Paint

Made a fair amount of progress on the painting.. In fact, painting should be done unless I decide to put a little color on the keel and/or rudder. (currently they are white).


Quite a few pictures were added towards the bottom on the Sailboat page.

Just need to add the lettering, pinstripes (shown in Photoshop mock-up on Sailboat page), then put a final coat of resin to seal it all up. (I might have made reference to a final coat of resin before, but this time I mean it!!) I can't wait to be done with this step so that I can finally move on to the rigging. 🙂

Also, I have made a wind vane and done some experimenting with it... I hadn't considered the affect of apparent wind, but now that I've had a chance to play with the wind vane, I can see determining wind direction is going to be one of the bigger challenges of this project..
