Started putting on some new rubbing strakes around the deck today , only cut them close as there is no point finishing the topsides untill we have sorted the hull . I started rubbing down the hull and i think it has been painted with antifoul undercoat or primer . It's that heavy looking metalic paint that when rubbed down sticks to your skin . A messy job but i think it all needs to come off as it's not a good base for a finish ....... unless anyone knows otherwise ?

I finished the port side this evening and started on the stbd . It seems the timber used is Cuban Mahogany so no chance of getting any of that

I have taken most of the week off to crack on with her for various reasons .
I also messed up the first few coats of varnish but i think i have it sorted now
I have a duo nav light winging its way from the states free of charge from a very kind fella on the wooden boat forum and i won a trilight on ebay last night that may also look good .
Anyone else bidding on those ... you where never going to win
