John suggested sealing the outside of the hull with epoxy rather than polyester resin, so I decided to use WEST Special Clear hardener with John's 105 resin.
I like the result:
The yard and the boom are beside the boat. I've started putting what hopefully will be many coats of Helmsman spar varnish on them.
Then, today, the big day of first paint!
I'm using Petit Easypoxy semi-gloss white. The topside plank will be Interlux Brightside glossy red, same as the last two boats.
The plan is to put another coat of white on the sides before the red goes on. I believe that a colour painted over white is more brilliant, and I like a brilliant red. The rest of the white might be three coats total.
