Nice looking work. 8) It’s a big accomplishment to get where you are at.
For the record, that center strake would not have made a spits difference if you had ran it to the tunnel. The water coming out of the tunnel is so confused it literally doesn’t matter. Once you get the boat up on plane for the first time, you will understand.

We’ve got 3 Bateau boats registered to show. My XF 20, a LM 18 and Classic 19. Great place for prospective or active builders to come visit.

This will be the first year (other than the Covid) that I’ve missed. “Forever Young” my D-15 first made an appearance in 2015. I had this boat out there last year as an in progress boat.

It seems to be more of a Farley Boatworks Festival than a boat builders festival anymore. I’ll probably still come out and have a look.

First coat of Interlux Perfection Fighting Lady Yellow going on. Roll and tip.

Rolling and tipping quality yacht paint is so satisfying. I used awlgrip on my last build, the Interlux seems to be just as good of a product.

Looking good! How long is the "back order" (a term I despise)?
