In the water

I launched yesterday-(Lake Ontario- seems early-but glad for it). After some minor adjustments she is running great. I am taking some time today to get the interior ship shape- putting cushions back... etc....
Feels great- plan on having supper aboard if the weather holds.

We splashed her back on May 6th...but these are pics from last Sunday.
Brand new paint - Interlux Brightsides...3 coats on the topside,and 2 coats on the hull. Wet sanded between each coat.
Not perfect using the roll & tip method, but very pleased overall.
Topside has 2 coats of Interlux Non-skid on the walkways, bow & cabin top. Very pleased with the outcome as well.

Looks good Paul,
That "Brightside" paint is pretty good stuff. How about your cabin floor, did you end up installing the Teak & Holly?

Great looking paint job. Thinking about painting our Tri-cabin next spring as she's beginning to show her age a little.
Good work and thanks for the pics.

Not that I am aware of...there is an F32 that has been there for a number of years though. Was sold a year and a half ago now but still remains at the marina with the new owners.

Yes...I would recommend the Brightsides to anyone...a little hard to work with in a warm breeze. Found calm and cool days the best (was working in a large Cover-All building).
Having done a ton of work this winter & spring, I didn't get to do the floor yet...has new carpet from last summer still. Definitely in the plans though.

Ready...yes, seen the F32 you were referring to while we were cruising the marina in our dinghy on Sunday.
She looks pretty decent from the waterline lookin' up...
