Nice and shiny again. Spent a 'few' hours hand sanding, 120 dry, 240 dry, 400 wet. This also included repairs and epoxy on the bare spots. Leaving it for 3 days to fully harden.

Now to replace fittings and sailing gear. One week to season openings!

Still designing the long-awaited sign writing. Something distinctive, in red & black again. And to disguise the plain timber grain on the bow sections, see photo!
