Finished in the paint shop

Build day 46-48

We left Yarwood on Friday last with the masking carefully being removed and the only painting to be done that of the decks, gunwales and cabin top and thjis was to be in raddle red.   On Monday evening we visited to find that Yarwood was being masked again in readiness for the last coats of paint and today we find that the paintshop has finished and Yarwood is booked out tomorrow morning. 




The decks, cabin top and gunwales have had four coats of raddle red.  They will get yet another coat when the non-slip coats go on.

Gunwale and gunwale lip will stay raddle but the rivir detail will be blacked.

  2. Hi Capt.
    The plate is a temporary addition to assist the giant forklift to tow her about the site.
