Been forever, one new baby, one new boat (Beneteau First 210), but the DS is done. I hate paint but it came out pretty.
It was REALLY pretty until I scraped it up flipping it back over...... Grrrrrrr..... But close enough. The interior is the biggest improvement to me. The white epoxy cleans up easily and is much nicer.
I rechristened the boat Denial..... Which is pretty apt.
I kept essentially the same rigging layout, but moved the battery far forward. I eventually will get an APS, especially having used the APC from Doyle on the Beneteau..... Beaver lake sailing would benefit greatly from a light air sail. I kept center sheeting 4 to 1. I wanted to leave the back deck clear for solar panel. I am hooked on electric. I am going to take this boat down the red river MCAR under electric/hybrid propulsion.
Overall.... Based on my experience with the two part paints.... I don't think I will be painting my new boat. Chalky is just fine......
