Today the paintwork on the hull/deck join was sanded back as the finish was not up to scratch. This time after carefully masking the underside of the deck “Rub Rail” paint was reapplied using the Airbrush rather than my smallest automotive spray gun. This time I’m happy with the finish so a quick cut’n’polish  tomorrow & then the stanchion work can start. Will no doubt take a while to clean them all up before repainting.

Must remember to paint the rudder as well as it got missed when painting the keel & underwater area.

By the way Uncle G, I found another of those 30 Mt Gay’s that was brought into Tas way back in the 80’s. I was out at Brian J’s (ex MMACA President) today and he also has a partially completed Mt Gay sitting on his work bench. Reckons he might get back to it one day !

So that is one for me, one for Ricky, 2 for RonB and one for BrianJ and Alan F’s “Little Honda” (that he used to beat the pants off us with @ the canal in the early days of us sailing the “Chinese” RC yachts), but the last time I saw that was at his funeral. Still leaves 24 more out there somewhere.
