NB "Dorothy John"

Painting season continues with 1980's Bridgewater boat Dorothy John. Justified reservations about the British weather  (too dry, too wet, too windy, too many flies etc.) led to the construction of a Heath Robinson inspired painting shelter.

DJ metamorphoses inside its giant yellow chrysalis!

It may be a bit hot and sweaty inside but the tent stabilizes the conditions enough to attempt the job with confidence.

Plenty of paint on this old boat allows careful patch priming to ensure a quality job

 Skipping to the same view of the finished side, hopefully all the hard work was worth it!

Sand painted gunnels improve the boats manners when handling.

 Jobs a goodun' !
