Biscuit Updates

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!

Final prep prior to priming the deck....

Painting the spars made the list for Biscuit's refit and I decided to begin with the boom...

Continued prep of Biscuit's boom for paint and reassembly...

The mast and boom will also receive a refresh, with paint and new hardware where necessary, so with the low temperatures I decided to get started on the boom...

Let's get some paint on somewhere!
