I decided to take Our Ben out to the bench to have a small paint up, however due to an accident several rather large boxes fell and caused her to end up in the floor! Hull is fortunately intact. I have seen this as an opportunity to resite the wheelhouse to one side to allow more deck space. Some of the capping had also broken so I have re applied using resin and tissue. This has given it much more strength.
Now I can paint her! Photos to follow!!

So I managed to break my leg in October which put pay to finishing the painting.
Managed to start it today - white water line to do!

Brixham is just around the corner from me. Your weathering looks spot on to me. I have seen much worse as well. Don`t know how they go to sea on some of them.
