Thank you for the kind words, Patrick and Bernd. I've been very lazy to update my project here in the forum but here comes a short report.

?

Last summer I painted the boat (when project had it's 10th anniversary:) First I tried my HVLP sprayer which I used inside and got a reasonable result there. Outside was awfull so I sanded the boat and tried roll-and-tip method. Better (slower) and I have to deal with it for a while.

?

This summer I have been working on rig and deck equipment. It's been time consuming because firstly there is a lot of thinking what to do (I'm not very experienced sailor) and secondly I have overdrilled and epoxied every through-hull fitting.?

?

I made the mast of two Al-pipes as per Bernd's plans. I was about to make wishbone gaff rig, but ended to normal full batten mainsail with a wishbone boom. The boat is almost ready to sail but I will not launch it until next summer because I have (too) many other things to take care of: family, summer cottage, house and two lousy cars. Oh, and almost forgot; I have a job.

?

Best regards, Pete

Great work! Your project logistics?of building the hulls in your garage and then assembling the final product elsewhere have given me hope as a landlocked?sailor. Thank you for sharing.
