Just because there have been no recent posts doesn't mean there has been no progress on the pram. The three seats have received three coats of varnish and are ready to install. See below.
The inside has received three coats of cream colored paint. The knees have been varnished, but still need one more coat before they can be called "done". The going has been slow because painting has been a challenge this summer. Not only is time a problem, but the weather has been wet and the air has been damp. Not good drying conditions.
Last night I did the first coat of red on the shear strakes. I can't paint the whole bottom because we need the center line on the bottom to score the curved bottom line onto the piece of mahogany we have for the keel. Once we have that done, I can finish up the painting. Launching this year is beginning to look doubtful.
