 It’s been over a year since the last real work on pocketship.  I did have 18 guys over to the house to flip her over back up right and onto the trailer in the fall.   Today taking stock of what’s left to do and fitting the tabernacle. 

Painting the final coat on bottom Starboard side.

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

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

 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. 

 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?
