Nuts is happy again. Hull nice and level (used laser level) so I can use a level inside for doing the interior.  Bow compartment got its second coat of epoxy primer this morning while still on its side. Left a patch where the forestay chainplate will be bolted on as I will put a couple of glass layers on the inside for reinforcement.  Keel top also all nice and straight and sanded with first coat of epoxy primer applied.  I think I will give it 4 coats of primer before bolting the lead on.  The keel can then be left outside till needed just before launching next year.
