On the trailer

So now, I have a trailer. It took me a while to find one though! I bought it from McClain Trailers Inc in Houston, made just for Lady C.

Color

I received blue and white polyurethane bi-component paint. Here is what I foresee. It may change...!
Hull is blue - Deck is white - Cannopy wood varnish - Inside is white... I am not sure which color are the sails, I believe grey. By the way, I need to go and get them this week from the maker.


Warning up

The weather was a bit better this week end, so epoxy could be mixed again. Two more strips on the canopy and some other work on the center board trunk. Sanding under the hull is no fun...

I took some time to install the stanchions and life line. It does not look too bad! I went the cheap way for that piece, as stanchions can be very expensive... I used 1" x 20" SS pipe and some handrails bases.

Under the hull, one can see the ruder and centerboard. On the centerboard top, one can see the hole and slot cut that will be used as anchor point for the the winch webbing. The rudder and centerboard are ready for painting...
