In the water
I launched yesterday-(Lake Ontario- seems early-but glad for it). After some minor adjustments she is running great. I am taking some time today to get the interior ship shape- putting cushions back... etc....
Feels great- plan on having supper aboard if the weather holds.

We splashed her back on May 6th...but these are pics from last Sunday.
Brand new paint - Interlux Brightsides...3 coats on the topside,and 2 coats on the hull. Wet sanded between each coat.
Not perfect using the roll & tip method, but very pleased overall.
Topside has 2 coats of Interlux Non-skid on the walkways, bow & cabin top. Very pleased with the outcome as well.

Not that I am aware of...there is an F32 that has been there for a number of years though. Was sold a year and a half ago now but still remains at the marina with the new owners.ready123 wrote:Nice looking boat... and the dinghy content ain't have bad either![]()

Yes...I would recommend the Brightsides to anyone...a little hard to work with in a warm breeze. Found calm and cool days the best (was working in a large Cover-All building).Paul wrote:Looks good Paul,
That "Brightside" paint is pretty good stuff. How about your cabin floor, did you end up installing the Teak & Holly?
Having done a ton of work this winter & spring, I didn't get to do the floor yet...has new carpet from last summer still. Definitely in the plans though.
