Productive day yesterday
I gave up on compounding and waxing the new (old) boat. It needed to be done with heavy duty equipment which I don't have. Plus, it's been hot as hades for the past couple of weeks. So, I contracted Kingman Yacht Center to do the work. Got to the boat mid morning and was shocked. They have spent two days so far on the boat, starting with a heavy compound, then going over it again with a lighter cut, and then a fine compound. Tomorrow they will do the wax. The old boat looks new again. Even without the wax, they were able to restore a nice, brilliant shine. This is being done in the water, so only the topsides are being addressed. The hull will be done later, but it actually isn't in bad shape. The previous owner just never spent much time keeping the topsides waxed obviously. Then, the canvas guy showed up and took all the side, front and rear canvas panels off and took them to replace all the Isinglass with new. Knowing how busy these people ususally are, I was hoping to have them back before fall, but was pleasantly surprised when he said they would be done by the end of next week. Then, the graphics guy showed up. We went over the design and font for the name on the transom and quarterboards. He'll have them on by the end of this week. Productive day, I'd say. Eisboch |
