Over the last few days I have added a few more coats of paint to the hull and finally applied the first coat of boot top. this stuff dries quite quickly so it shouldn't be long before i have two coats applied and I can think about getting Naiad turned over.

This is the old mainsail and I've taken it out to remove the reefing points which will be fitted to the new sail.

There's quite a lot of them in total and that's also quite a length of rope so I didn't want to waste it.

Naiad with the first boot top.

I probably don't really need to apply a second coat but I'm going to anyway.

Then a few days to let it harden and for me to finish off the trailer cradle and she can be turned up the right way.

Time for a cup of tea.
