The boot stripe is coming along nicely. Today I was able to sand the primer, tape and get one coat of paint applied. I am using the roll and tip method so I have to wait to recoat. I took these pictures literally right after tipping so the paint hasn’t had a chance to smooth out but it looks pretty good so far.
At least the stripe is a bit more uniform:

I wish I had used the roll-tip method on the topsides, the shine would have burned your retinas. Reflection of the rudder in the stripe:
Tomorrow I will sand this and apply another coat of paint, IF the weather cooperates. I have bottom paint and a few other things due in by mid week and that should get us ready to launch. Very exciting.
Wow, the boot stripe is looking great. Guess its warm enough for you to be outside. Cant wait to get back there. Its down right cold up here and the weather has been nothing short of nasty.
Hi Nancy! Yes it’s been pretty warm until last night! It was 42 here this morning! Hope to see you guys soon!
