This was a fun little project we did on a Morris Yachts M42 this winter. We covered the front of the seahood with teak and put a slight camber on the top to match the deck. The back is slightly concave as well to match the seahood profile. The entire unit is removable so the electronics can be serviced.

Inish Beg launch

I'm just now realizing I never posted any pictures of Inish Beg being launched for the first time. It was a really windy day so it was a lot of fun. It's a very quick and responsive little boat.

Paint and Varnish

I got the boat back from paint Friday night. Glendon did a great job. We've spent most of the weekend sanding, varnishing, and doing other last minute details. We leave for the Wooden Boat Show in Mystic, CT. this Thursday. Hopefully sea trials Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

Here are a few pictures of the boat drying in the sun today.

On the Move

Well, she's not quite finished but a scheduled paint job waits for no man.

Port Caprail and Foredeck

The boat is really starting to take shape. I can't wait to get six or seven more coats of varnish on the interior.

Yacht Interiors

Here are a few pictures of some of the work I've done for Morris Yachts.

Caprail

I don't have access to a nice wood steamer so I've decided to try the steaming hot, wet blanket trick. Worked great!
