Even more progress

Absent the Kirby Paint Company sending me the wrong deck paint, things are moving along. Looks like Sjogin may go back in next week. All that remains is painting the deck, rub rails and bottom. The spars are done and ready to go.

I always try to do her regular maintenance in four weeks or less but it always seems to take six. Oh well. If nothing else this spate of delightful weather this September has made me decide to take her out next July rather than mid-August. We’ll see.

Fresh paint
Freshly painted with Kirby’s custom color Maynard Bray White. Mr. Bray is an editor at WoodenBoat and a fixture in the traditional boat scene. My brother uses this color on Boss Lady and Katy D. It’s an off-white, with just a touch of cream.

Wrong color
That is most decidedly not Seattle Grey, my usual deck color. Called Kirby’s and they will try again. It’s actually an Interlux color, copied by Kirby.

Rudder detail
Primed and sanded, ready for paint.

Work site view
View from the shed. A classic Bunker and Ellis Picnic boat, coming in for winter storage.

Serena
Serena, the Beaton Flatfish, under sail. Still no takers for Charlotte.

  1. First I found your boat at random , when looking for double enders on line.
    Sjogin is such a beautiful boat I can’t stop my obsession with her, I just come back to see updates and more pics.
    hey and I don t even own a boat not even a raft.
