Painted Bluenose

With the keel and hull painted, the boat is travelling much faster in the water. It didn't look to be all that rough when we pulled it out, but the difference after painting is quite significant and made for a good time on the water last time out. We have been working on the topside, now, varnishing the rails with a satin finish and putting on the new registration number decal, which I'll try to get a picture of soon. Our next project will be to paint the deck (after a few sails on the bay).
