Actually no mate. I don’t follow that game. I am a Rugby League follower and my team is the Melbourne Storm. We got hammered in the grand final last weekend lol
This afternoon I sanded back the internal doors and hatches then gave them a couple of heavy coats of high build primer. I’ll leave them alone for a few days to off gas and harden before flipping over and doing the other side. Once that was done and everything cleaned up, I popped upstairs and finished installing the pvc pipe for the wiring to pass through for the external items yet to be fitted to the roof. The wires will pass through it and down into the engine room then connected to wherever it is supposed to connect to. Inside; I’ll enclose the pipe in timber then upholster it in vinyl. The timber frames will also act as a strut to support the weight of the roof so it doesn’t put pressure on the sliding door. Well that’s the plan today. It may change tonight or tomorrow haha.

I have pvc pipes running between the top and headliner that carries the wires for the equipment on the mast; radar, gps, tv antenna, etc. Don’t forget to leave a pull string for the future!
This afternoon to flipped the panels over and gave them a hit with some more high build epoxy primer. I gave the toilet door another coat all over because the coat I put on yesterday was a bit thin in places and I wasn’t happy with the coverage. Weather permitting I’ll be able to gun on some Epoxy topcoat in gloss white then fit them in the coming week but first some more sanding haha
Today I guide coated the doors and panels then sanded smooth with 320 grit discs. Once that was done I went inside and epoxy primed the wardrobe and door jambs.
There’s too much moisture in the air to spray the topcoats so that’s it for today.

This afternoon I had a couple of jobs on the go. The first one was to fit the front hatch and tub setup. As you can see the tub hangs down a bit into the cabin. I was going to cut the tub down so the ceiling would cover it but I decided against it and run with practicality over aesthetics. The tub will house the deck wash hose, anchor bridle and the remote for the windlass and whatever else I chuck in there so I want a bit of volume in it. Once in place I was trying to figure out how to make it look better so I thought I’d take it home and make a sleeve out of the leatherette to match the bulkhead covers that I will fit later on. At the moment they are bare plywood but it should all look ok once everything is upholstered.

The other works I did today was spraying some of the interior items in gloss white. I used the same paint - Jotun Hardtop Ultra which is a aliphatic acrylic polyurethane. I plan to spray SOLSTICE with this product so it was great to try it out and work out any issues adjusting thinner ratio etc before the big girl gets some coats in December.
Shinnnney!!
After you get a breather... e.g. well after "Your" splash! It would be fantastic to learn the different product names you used for building and finishing to attain SOLSTICE's new life as the exemplary customized boat.

You all know he is rebuilding this boat so he can escape to the US, where are the streets are paved with pure gold?
Of course he will have to two a fuel bladder behind the boat and manage his fuel usage until he gets in sight of the US mainland then he can call for USCG assistance.
LOL
