We wanted to take advantage of every suitable painting day, and got on as fast as we could. The first non primer was a layer of International Pre-Kote which acts as an undercoat before the toplac. It's only available in white, and it's very strange to see Robinetta anything but blue!
Robinetta now only needs one more coat of toplac and anti foul on the hull. I don't really want to put that last coat of toplac on until the bob-stay bolt is reinforced, since I was warned it might damage the paintwork.
Julian came along on Saturday and Sunday, so now the mast is dressed, and waiting for the yard to put it in. Really feels like we're getting there!
I'm still working on getting paint layers on the cockpit, fore-deck, and bulwarks, but Robinetta's looking like herself again with the hull red and blue.
