Time to get back at pocketship.

 Time to get back at pocketship.  Clear epoxy over bottom of rubrails to seal them. 

Painting bottom.

 Installed centreboard.  Painted the keel with EZPoxy white. Painted 2nd coat of blue on starboard and 1st coat on port side. 

Waterline struck and first coat.

 Figured out how to strike the waterline with the laser level. I just didn’t have the laser level back far enough Then got the first coat done and it looks good so far.  Pettit EZPoxy Electric Sapphire blue with additive. Using roll and tip. 

Waterline blues

 Trying to figure out how to mark the waterline for my pocketship.   Having some trouble. Marked down from keel 16 1/2 inches (down from the bottom of the keel) as the manual said for pocketship number 1. This was a start point. Then measured same distance down from the keel bottom right at the transom and went 11 1/4 inches each side from that. Can’t curve my Barton around the hard chine. Anysuggestions CLC crew?

Final sanding and last coat of primer. Paint next.

 Sanding over the entire hull with 220.  Last coat of primer. One quart was barely enough for 2 coats.  Also fiberglass repair in the Raema1. Some painting of the Cal 28 hatch cover. 

Sanded the first coat. Touch up of bubbles with filler.

 Sanded the first coat. Touch up of bubbles with filler. Also working on hatch cover for My Dream and getting ready to fibreglass cracks on the Raema1. 3 sailboats is too many. :)
