Sail & paint

The sail is almost done now. I need to put ties on the top for the yard, and reef points.

In the photo below I was determining how long the bamboo yard and boom need to be, and how much mast will be above the yard:

I wrapped the bamboo with some glass in epoxy between the ridges, to hopefully prevent cracking.

Painting is on-going. The hulls now have three coats of white. The decks and cockpit have three coats of sand tone.

 

On the main hull, the side and bottom planks will be red, and possibly the coaming and around the aft hatch. On the amas, I'll paint a red stripe under the sheer on the outside of each hull. A couple coats should do it for the red over the white, but we'll see.
