The weather was too wet to get anything done over the Easter weekend, but Julian worked all day on Good Friday, so took the day in lieu today, and worked on the mast. We want to put different wiring on the mast head light and the radio antenna, and think of a different way to lead the wiring down to the shrouds.
All our paint stripping and priming with silvery primers had removed any trace of the antifoul/toplac boundary, so Julian and I redrew it with masking tape using photo evidence and our memories. After that Alex put another coat of underwater primer on, in exactly the right place.
The paint across the stern in the cockpit was redone in a hurry at the start of last season when I noticed it flaking off just before we went in the water. The same area is going again (due to lack of proper preparation I think), so I've decided to strip it off, and sand it all down before giving it the 4 coats of primer treatment.
