Thanks Jeff,
The System Three went on quite well with the roll and tip. Some places I messed up on leaving brush marks more pronounced, but overall I happy how the inside worked out. I never was much of a painter to begin with and so I will be keeping my day job.

I really like the little bits of bright finish to go with all the white. Sort of brings out the best in both.

Thanks Fuzz,
The varnished mahogany really warms things up. I plan on adding mahogany fiddles to finish the interior.

Thanks for asking Bogie

I was able to get a few projects done before the heat set in. The new mast and boom arrived last week. I'll have to wait a bit and recoup from the cost of shipping before I order the standing rigging.

I was able to get a few coats of varnish on. It's tougher than I thought, found some runs and uneven areas to deal with. Other than that I am getting anxious to finish.
