Varnishing sailing kit

August 4, 2011
I'm coming down the final stretch in boatbuilding.  Today I put the first coat of varnish on the daggerboard, boom, mast, tiller extension, and rudder.  I have several coats to go, but I should have the dory ready to sail in another week.  Of course, I still need to figure out all the directions to install the bags of hardware that is in the box.

The rudder has its first coat of varnish

Varnishing the tiller extension, boom and mast is a little tricky because one side is in contact with the plastic.

It doesn't look a lot different but now the daggerboard has its first coat of varnish over the epoxy.
