Date: 29 March 2018 13:30 till 29 March 2018 16:30
Purpose: Continue Cockpit Painting Project
Complement: Yoni Bresler
Weather: 50, gentle breeze, soft rain

  • Sanded second coating of QuikFair .
  • Drilled out most of the holes to secure the coamings to the cockpit. The rest will be drilled while attaching the coamings.
  • Vacuumed and washed cockpit twice.
  • Applied Pre-Kote to the indent lid. Much darker gray than expected. Deferred the idea of painting the cockpit with grey Pre-Kote till I see how the indent lid looks after finishing.
  • Applied additional QuikFair to low spots and defects in previously faired and sanded areas.
  • Second filling of the starboard winch pedestal.
  • Next steps:
    • Sand newly filled areas.
    • Finish indent lid with Pre-Kote and Brightside .
    • Sand cockpit locker lids.
    • Paint cabin aft interior bulkhead, first coat with High Gloss White ?? Might be best to wait to see how the Brightside looks in the cockpit.
    • Remove the access plate in the cockpit floor and fill diamond pattern below access plate flange.
    • Need to decide whether or not to remove the cockpit drains for this project.
    • Need to decide whether or not to remove cabin top winches to refinish inside cabin there as well.
