5th April

Finished glassing the rudder leading and trailing edges yesterday and gave the whole rudder a sand today.

Gave the deck a good clean and de-dust and then gave it a coat of epoxy primer.

Cockpit and transom also have first coat.

Rudder got a light skim of micro balloon filler this evening and can get the other side done tomorrow.  Will sand and prime in a few days.  Looking fwd to doing stainless steel work again soon to finish the pintles.

Almost time to lift the hull a bit and tip it on its side a few degrees to make it easy to sand the topsides
