I've also finished sanding the LAST of the trim (other than the aft cabin which is yet to be started at all), and got the first coat of heavily thinned varnish on... Another milestone!



There was one bit that I broke on removal... I've used wood glue to put it back together before sanding and varnishing.. It's worked well


(Lots more pics as promised)

May head to the boat tomorrow to try the starter out

  3. Bummer!... If it's any consolation, I've done bugger all since Ironman at the end of June... Maybe run half a dozen times...
