Strip: First Coat on the Boat *Pic*

Glassing has officially begun. This is one of the funnest parts because you get a glimpse of the finished color of the boat. I realized some time ago that I might have been a little more careful picking boards that were closer in color - oh well, next boat. Still, I am very happy with the way this is shaping up. Anyway, it will look this way for a pretty long time.

This is a thin precoat and then I'll lay down two layers of 3.2 satin weave all over and a third layer in the football; no fill coats.
