Have you considered a tent or polytunnel to keep it out of the weather? Mine was good, but problematic until I covered the lot with a heavy duty tarp tied and cable tied to the steel frame. Hard to get good photos, but no worries about the rain anymore.

I gotta think that the only thing possibly more satisfying than building and using your own boat is building a boat and then giving it to your Dad to use. And I don't even know your Dad!

Nice work Salty, Dory's coming great, keep it up!

I cant see any benefit to primer under graphite.
