Re: Meet Theresa C.
Paint (some kind of white) top to deck, with wood trim (britework) around the windows. dont forget the brass portholes (7) vents(4) and the red/green monster.
There will be a continuous brightwork trim along the top of the front section through the aft section in the middle, parallel with the deck, below the windows, down the sides, all the way back, tied into the rail near the transom. A complete horizontal loop, I hope, we'll see. This will be cut and fit at it's finest.
I was thinking black walnut, I have a cabinet shop a few doors down and their friendly guys and gals with a black walnut fetish...
Bob, It's hard to get far enough away, next time I have her out I'll get some shots, maybe some vid as well.
I could see her today, but I promised to help remove a little diesel genii from a friends boat (500Lbs. easy),,,,,,,
We moved it 4 feet, not up. wish me luck in the days that come.....
Some may say I'm "brave", I'll be the first to jump in the bilge, I don't get sea sick, Ahh Haa Haa, pisses some people offffff.
No bravery needed for this project, no hurries, no worries, unlike all the other restorations, sigh, this ones mine, all mine ( the wifee too) just the way we want it, simple, effective, cost friendly and most of all fun, from some of the questions I get when the cover is off, to BSin with the yachting folk ,,, they find out my boat's # is 0010, blows minds, then 1933???? that's old!wow! I have too much fun!!! and yes it's hard to leave the docks, every time.
It's great fun seeing peoples eyes light up when I pull off the cover, even in bad shape. She's been covered for more than 5 years, incognito, then Jeff happened......
Here in our harbor sail boats sit in their slips for decades and never move, BUT if you have a primarily motor driven boat, it must be sea worthy, a 3 hour cruise out to 40 fathoms and back, what a joke!!!
