Well, I though I had carefully measured, but I had measured the first frame and had not realized that the following were slightly lower, so I had to shave a couple of centimeters off the windscreen frames... no big deal.

Deck (including all lockers, a pain in the neck...) fully primed now.

Well, we've been hit by storm after storm on the west coast of France lately, with winds gusting to 150km/h, so it has been impossible to progress with painting as the boat is outside under a car port. Finally a calm day today and I managed to put top coat on the deck, but I think that's it for this year.

I'll resume the project next spring with a final top coat, non slip paint on the sole, mounting the motor and deck equipment, and launch.

So let's call it a year.

All the best to all.

Looks good.

I hate stopping for the year. I think I have a week or so left, unless we have a warm spell between now and Christmas.

I'll bet you could gain a little space by letting air out of the tires getting out.

Yes I could, thanks, but I'm ok now, I just have to lower the support wheel of the trailer at the hook. A tight fit for sure.
