It has been a grey colour day, priming , antifouling and some rigging splicing
The hull was primed and antifouled, the keel had previously had a spray zinc coating and now it has 2 coats of Cin C-Poxy mastic, a special epoxy coating for corrosion protection of steel bridges and other steel structures that may be immersed. C-Poxy can be used as a final topcoat, intermediate or as a primer, but I also added an antifouling primer tiecoat and antifouling to the keel.
The companionway hatch previously had its locking system installed, (I forgot to show it) and also in the picture you can see the 316 inox bimini fitting that does double duty, holding the dodger to the cockpit seats as well as the pivot for the sprayhood frame.
I had previously made some inox chafe plates for the bow cleat that has not been shown before, either.
And standing rigging has been spliced from Lanex Dyneema,
