Finally, a sunny day and temperatures near 50.

It looks like winter is finally giving in to spring. It was sunny and warm enough for a couple of hours on Wednesday to get a little more work done. I cut the radii  for the foredeck cockpit fit (I improvised using a metal cookie tin with the correct radius as a template; which was easier and quicker than using a compass. You'd be surprised with what you can do with what you have lying around), rough cut and laid out the side deck pieces and seat before it started to get cold again.

As soon as the weather is warm enough I'll be wet sanding and adding one or two more coats of paint and then clear coat to the sides before installing and finishing the deck. In the meantime there are lots of little things like the steering, controls, bilge pumps, ventilation system, floatation and wiring to install.
