Lots of outside work this year. After about 17 years the hull needs to be repainted.

This is where we need to fill it in with fancy wood work.

This is what the Bruce Roberts drawing looks like for this area. Not very clear. First I'll make a template to see what it might look like. |

This is the shape I decided on using. It has to match with the bottom of the cap rail and the aft cabin trim board.
The little notch at the front of the template is where we came up short on the cap rail. I'll have to glue in a new piece.

We had some time in Anacortes and got the netting work all done. We used tie-wraps to set it all up, so in my spare time while out at anchor I use proper marine twine lashings.
