Look what they’ve done to our boat!!!!
Remember last week’s pristine white???
It’s all O.K. It appears they put on the black paint so that they can
sand it off to show up high and low spots!
More sanding, sanding, sanding!
They’re forgiven.
See?
It will all lead to a finer finish in “six weeks”.
Preparing the daggerboards for a final coat.

Wow, isn’t she looking a million dollars?
This week’s pictures celebrate the painting of “Wendera”,
viewed from all angles, complete with a “pirate”,
dropsheets galore and the lounge – fantastic!.
And then this…… I won’t make it another contest because
I have never said who won the last one……. sooooo…
It’s the Site Manager’s nocturnal abode. It’s a “Dogloo” -
an igloo for a dog!
All that shiny white stuff on “Wendera” is just undercoat!!
What will she look like with the final coat?
