Snowing outside, and windy on top of that. Made two new gaskets in 2mm rubber material today. For the self bailers. Also cleaned up the main sheet cam cleat and pulley.

Painted the deck with Kiwi Grip today. Awesome paint. 5 hours spent, including several hours for masking and paint prep. Light grey against the white, I'm super happy.

a lot of progress today. After a couple of sick days, I was hard at it today. Added top coat to floor with anti skid. Painted the waterline light grey. Painted the final deck features, preparing for light grey Kiwi grip tomorrow.

Finally finished sanding and got the green gelcoat in Epoxy primer. I'm happy with the nose job. Pure glass repair. Will be stronger than OEM, and looks OEM... :)
