The painting continues on the boom and the interior, and brightwork fabrication begins...

The seacocks are now ready for final install, and the boom gets its first coat of finish paint...

Carrying on with the prep work for both the new flanged seacock installation and painting of the boom...

With the new hardware in and backing plates fabricated from G-10, I took the weekend glue-in the backing plates...

Knowing that the new flanged seacocks were arriving today, I could not resist stealing a bit of time in the shop after the day job to fabricate the new backing plates for said seacocks...

Wanting to complete the interior in the coming weeks, among other tasks, lead me inside Biscuit for the day...

Today's work was focused on finishing up sanding on the cabin sole, as well as drilling out for the hull for the thru-hull fittings, and applying a second coat of primer to the boom...

I got back in the interior today in an effort to close out the work here, at least the bulk of it, in the coming two weeks. Today, working towards installation of the new seacocks...

A major part of the refit of Biscuit is the fabrication of new brightwork....time to begin processing the rough-cut boards.

First coat of primer on the deck!
