Our efforts to keep the boat dry are over now that the boat is completely covered with a good coat of 2-pack undercoat.

The only construction detail left is to complete the helm station. The engineering of the steering is complete, with just a few more pulleys to be bolted in. We know what is happening with the engine controls now, and we need to buy the electronic navigation instruments before the dashboard can be built. Those electronics have been left till last, as they just keep getting better and cheaper.

More painting, sanding, fairing, painting, sanding, (did I say more sanding?) and we will be looking for a launch date.
