Richard, Thanks much for the feedback. I’m eagerly waiting for the hull to come out of the shed either tomorrow or Tuesday so I can see it in natural light.
I have to state right up front that my involvement in the painting project has been to take pictures and write cheques. Many of the ideas and much of the will to continue with this project go to List members. First, I shamelessly stole the color scheme, less the gold shear stripe, from Harry Hallgring’s Northeast 39 paint job. I was planning on doing the hull in Jade Mist Green but after seeing Harry’s project pictures and dropping by his slip when I delivered a J/120 to Newport RI last June I ditched the green paint plans instantly. Two neighbors had they’re hulls painted by the local yard and after seeing the quality of work and the pricing, I quickly ditched plans calling for me to paint the hull. Thanks to Martin DeYoung and his hardware re-bed project on “Calypso” for making me realize that I wasn’t completely off my meds (like a lot of my sailing friends think I am…) for pulling all the deck hardware and moving on with fixing cracks and leaks and then painting the decks. Shout-outs to Jake Brodersen for showing both me AND the local boatyard that bad things won’t happen if the keel is removed; Bob Boyer for allowing me to peek over his shoulder as he posts on his blog about prepping his LF 38 for cruising; Rick Brass for some good ideas on storage and systems; Dennis C of Touché for little professional tips. There are many, many others on this list who have provided valuable information. And finally, to the King of boat rebuild projects, Wally Bryant for showing me that there is light at the end of the (very long) tunnel… Best, Dave Godwin 1982 C&C 37 - Ronin Reedville - Chesapeake Bay Ronin’s Overdue Refit <http://roninrebuild.blogspot.com/> > On Mar 29, 2015, at 12:15 AM, Richard N.
