While the paint and interior varnish were finished, I got busy with all the painting/varnishing of off-the-boat-parts, like floorboards, mast, rudder, centerboard, boom - the list was long. Plus an interesting repair on the mast.

The deck restored - but for a paint finish, not its original bright (varnish) finish.

Next up: sand it, prime it, paint it!
