More questions from new DS1 owner

Postby Wyatt » Wed Sep 06, 2006 10:49 pm

I would like to refinish my boat over the winter and am hoping for a few pointers.

The original hull color is a green-blue which I think is called Carribean Blue. Is there a good hull paint out there to match the original color?

How were the inside surfaces of the DSI originally finished? I see remnants of white gelcoat on the inside hull, but then on the underside of the deck I am finding a blue-flecked gel coat. Has anybody tried spraying a new gelcoat finish instead of painting?

Are there any plans out there for the mahogany decking? I'm concerned about the spacing of the cross-supports.

Lastly, I'm happy to report that I found the original manufacturer's plate which I though was missing, tucked away in one of the shelves. I don't know why the plate was removed. Possibly to obtain the title with the state of NJ, as the boat also has a NJ issued hull number (welcome to NJ).

She's no. 2922

Thanks in advance,

Wyatt.

PS. I saw Sail No. 1 (DSII) on Spruce Run reservoir this past Monday.
