Today, I painted the inside of the first hull on my trimaran boat. Using a paint several years old left over from when the porch on this house was painted, I coated the rather sloppy fiberglass and bare wood.
The outside of this hull is the pinkest of pinks, one I call super pink. This color copies a tee shirt color I bought in Pikeville, Kentucky last year. At the Hillbilly Festival, I heard an all woman band called Coal Town Dixie. They were great and I bought their tee shirt because I loved them and their shirt.
I should be wrapping the mast sections tonight while the second coat of inside paint dries. I have cord that I used to tie two sheets of thin plywood to the top of the car. Lowe's gives the stuff away for tying down customer loads. Glue and this twine ought to strengthen each mast joint. I think I will glue a plywood reinforcement to the floor and then build a three sided wall around it for a mast seat. Three feet back from the bow should be about right.
I hope to paint the 2by4 cross pieces that will join the hulls together an emerald green. Marking them with white painted numbers will make assembly and reassembly after portages easy.
