The past several weeks most of our free time has been devoted to getting boats ready to go in the water and mowing the lawn. I have had some time to work on the inside of the pram and have managed to smooth all the places that needed smoothing and get one barrier coat of epoxy on the inside. We cut the sculling groove in the stern transom and drilled the hole in the bow transom through which the bow painter will be threaded. I have put one coat of varnish on the knees and will fine sand it for another one as soon as time allows. We have ripped the rub rails out of a piece of oak and bent them around the side of the boat to see how they are going to fit. They have been set aside to await installation.
Launch date for Whitecap is on Sunday June 21st so at least that part will be done and we can devote a little time to the pram. If it doesn't stop raining, we will have plenty of time to work on her.
