The Naked Boat



Finished stripping the hull - port side only, but still a milestone.  JD painted her in 2-pack in the nineties, so it all had to come off.  Also happy to find the original waterline as scribed in the planking during the original build.  It had been painted nearly an inch lower at the stern, but was more or less right by the time it arrived at the stem.  Will probably batten this off and re-scribe it just to make sure it doesn't vanish again under coats of primer.
