The third to last coat of paint went on last night in the cockpit (Thanks to mom) and the decks (Dad and I). The cockpit is much harder to paint. Pictures soon. Today (friday) we will put on the non skid additive layer in the cockpit and the side decks and lightly sand the second to last coat before putting the final coat on top. Dad laid up the last hatch drain assembly for the aft hatch and we made the oarlock riser blocks.
