My deck and cockpit...
Well the cockpit area looks like crap.. A really poor previous paintjob has left it looking like it has a skin condition.
I need to get that fixed.. so if I was going to do that.. why not paint the whole boat?
Well I put the boat in the area of the club so I could get back in the water asap next year.. SOOO maybe not a complete paintjob as doing the hull is a big job.. removing all the antifoul, sanding and grinding he keel, and then the cost for interprotect and then paint.. I think thats a job that could get up to almost $1000.00
Now, I want to do the deck and cockpit in white - anti skid areas in grey or maybe a cream. OH maybe a light blue.. that looks nice too.. any opinions? I have a blue sailcover, and a blue UV area on the Genoa, maybe like that very light Grampian blue used in the logo??
May 2012 - Looks like this job is going to be stripping the old paint, a bit of paint around the bases of the grab rails, because those were rebuilt, and other wise lots of cleaning.
Since I am selling its better to leave it as much gelcote as possible and allow the new owner to decide what they want to do.
Will talk about sailing, my repairs, improvements.. et al.
