One hour today to give the second and last coat of paint to the vaka deck: time for the milestone beer! This completes the painting phase.
Now we have to install the portholes and hatches, install the false transom and rudder, build and install the tiller, dry mount the boat and then, if all goes well, bring it to the beach to install everything else, hoping that Cinzia ever allows moving the boat at all. I don't want to be around by the time the boat will get the first scratch!
The projected building time (800 hours) looks dead on the spot! Kudos to the designers. To be honest, I do think that with a few more power tools and, above all, more elbow room, we could have cut this time significantly. Anyway, it's been a nice ride up to now. Looking forward to launching!
Total work time to date: 770 hours
