The amas are COMPETELY 100% DONE .... Now on the the least favorite task of removing the 7 (SEVEN) layers of bottom paint from the center hull......

Congratulations Oscar, they look fantastic. Get that bottom finished so you can put it back together and get on the water!

cheers, Paul

Half the center hull is stripped..... temps have been in the high 30'sC/90'sF and wearing coveralls gloves, head wrap, boots and a respirator is only "fun" for a few hours......

Here we go, two clean layers of paint. (Not an anti fouling as it will be trailer sailed).......A buff and wax on the topsides and all of it back on the trailer.

Power wash for the deck, and on to the mast raising system. (Done in my head, can't wait to put it in practice....)

Soo nice! Looks great, but you did not dare to go for all red center hull...../.-)

Thought about it......but the work and money involved held me back.

Paint done, topsides done, reg numbers on. A few days for the paint to harden and then everything on the trailer...... Mast raising is next. Plan is for a system that will raise the mast on the trailer. I know a few people are waiting for me to produce..... soon!

Oscar;
Great job!
She really looks great.
All you need now is a warm weekend, but winter is fast approaching.

Ted, I just keep plugging away at it. It still needs a lot of work, but I'm trying to get it to where I can sail for a while first...... Then I can determine where I need new holes and what holes to fill lol......

Everything back on the trailer! Now for the deck and cabin.

Leaky windows, all sorts of severely outdated electronics with corroded connections, multiple layers of peeling/flaking paint = strip 'er down, fill the holes and start over......

Holes? What holes?
