The Shearwater has Landed (is painted)

one side is painted,
considering the lack of availability of good signwriters paintbrushes,
I am happy with the result.

The boat hull has had 3 coats yellow and 3 coats red, and the deck has had three coats of cream  - the deck still needs some coat/s of the non skid paint

 3rd red coat on hull 3rd yellow coat on bow and transom ...

... and the first of 3 coats on the rudder, 

next up 2 more coats of cream on the deck, If you are tired of these pics, imagine that between each coat the hull was hand sanded or scotchbrited - so on top of the faired and sanded hull there were 2 coats of epoxy, 2 coats of primer and 3 coats of paint. I am a little tired of sanding, but the final effect makes it all worthwhile!

 Painting, Stainless, Composite rails, Electrics and lots of bits 

The hull had a second coat of red and the Cagarro has been sized for positioning, I have welded the rudder fittings and they came out great, if I say so myself - and the galley box had a coat of epoxy inside and under the lid, and the pushpits and pulpits had their feet added, electrics, leds, lights, and other bits have arrivedd and system is in planning, and my extra can of cream paint for the deck and cockpit has arrived, and lots of other small things have been sorted out.
