Trisailor,

You have an absolutely marvelous looking boat in progress there. It's work like yours that inspires me to try very hard as I begin mine. Good luck with finishing her. I look forward to seeing more pictures.

Wow, you could eat off that boat and it would be cleaner than most restaurants

more sanding and varnishing. After several build-up coats with a brush, I am now starting to spray the varnish. I masked off the boat insides to keep out overspray. Before/after shots are always fun.

File comment: varnish is getting smooth, no more visible wood pores (or at least, very few).

File comment: the book-matched deck plank pattern is sort of visible in this shot. the reflection from the overhead fluorescents make it a little tougher to see.
