sanding, painting, and then wet-sanding and painting again.

It takes more time and effort than a born optimist like myself realize beforehand.

2 coats of primer, and then 2 coats of the 2-part PU paint everywhere in the cockpit, on deck and the cabintop. Coloor: Off-white

3 coats of 2-part PU paint on the topsides. Colour bright red (or as we would label it- Röde Orm red) Then antiskid paint light grey 2 coats on the areas of the deck where we put out feet. Then 2 coats of good antifouling under the waterline. Pheew! regarding the waterline, we've risen it almost a decimeter, not because the the boat wasn't floating on it, but from strictly practical reasons. With a higher waterline, we will be able to polish the topsides on a calm day at anchor. A great benefit 'out there'.

This picture shows Isabelle prepping the cockpit for the final two coats...
