Hi There,
Here is an update on my boat. I hope to be in the water by May 24th long weekend. The deck of my boat forward of the coaming and ending at the bow stripe had a hack paint job done. It was a good color match, but had faded to a green over the years. I wetsanded with 600 grit to get all of the paint off. Thankfully there was beautiful gel coat underneath. There is a small spot I need to re-gelcoat this weekend, you can see from the pictures below something had spilled on the deck, eating through to the gel coat. The original paint job covered this area. I wil be using a 1 step gel coat tinted to match the color (as best I can).
As you can see the boat is in great condition. Just needs a compound and wax after the repair. I can't believe there isn't one stress crack around the cockpit. And the cockpit itself looks virtually brand new! The mast step and daggerboard trunk are in great shape!
