It has taken me 3 years to finish the plugging of the screw holes and the sanding of the boat!!  Well not really but now being semi retired I am able to get back into the BM Project.

The boat has had 4 normal  coats of epoxy resin an 1 coat of special clear resin (West System 105/207)

Varnish is next and then the boat will be turned so I can work on the deck etc.

Last month I picked up the rudder and tiller hardware while I was in Europe. Again  Edwin TIjsterman was able to assist me with that. I would have had to have one made up in Aus  as this item is peculiar to this boat. So it turned out well. It was nice to catch up as well!
