We Are Seeing RED!!

Susan has been working on making screens for all of the windows on the boat. Using Sunguard brand high-density material, screens for each window is measured, cut, bound with Sunbrella seam binding, and then attached to the windows with stainless steel twist-lock studs and grommets. The Sunguard fabric and Sunbrella seam binding are both made to be UV and mildew resistant. The Sunguard material allows you to look out of the windows with ease, but makes it difficult for others to look in (unless you have the lights on at night of course). This material is widely used by RV'rs for privacy screens.


This is a view of the lower cabin with screens attached. These screens will also help with water runoff and of course, BUGS!


How do you like the brilliant RED? We love it! We also decided to paint the "boot stripe" gold to match the rub rails, and you can see the first coat of bottom paint has been applied.






A great view of the paint job from the starboard prow...We will apply 2-3 coats of Interlux Brightside Top Paint (red) to complete the topside painting. Two coats of the gold on the "boot stripe" have been applied.










After all that work, nappy time anyone? The new memory foam mattress has been made and installed in the V-Berth...time to try it out!











Shore power outlet has been installed in the "poop-deck" and we are plugged in. Another look at the new red and gold paint jobs. Sore arms after that as everything had to be hand painted by brush.

Also note the new screens on the upper cabin. We decided to make the side screens as one long screen as there are three windows on each side with only 3" in between each window which would not leave much room for attaching the twist-locks in between each window. The large picture windows in the rear have individual screens attached.
