Masked and ready for bottom paint.



A roll of wax paper was a convenient medium for masking the sides.

The crosswise stripes you see on the bottom are from blue tape that was holding the masking on the bottom when I varnished the sides. It pulled all the loose sanding dust off the bottom. Vacuuming and wiping down with denatured alcohol made the whole bottom cleaner than those stripes.

Bottom paint being applied:

One can of paint (Ez-Poxy) and four coats later, the bottom is done.



This finishes the hull. Woohoo! Now wait a week for the paint to harden.

From here on the project is all about attachments - rudder, daggerboard, mast & spars, splash coaming and hardware.

Weighed the hull today. Put a bathroom scale under each corner, then subtracted the weight of materials supporting the boat. 132 pounds.



The MF14 study plans spec the hull weight at 150 pounds. I'm going to need a really heavy deck cleat....

Sexy and skinny like a super model! You had better plan on a lot of extra time at the ramp for questions
