Lady Ellen Restoration Update – December 2018
Owner Bruce Mitchinson sent in the photos above & report below:
“The focus over the last few weeks has been on the exterior and cockpit. We have gone through 65 litres of high-build surfacer, and sanded half of it off, to get the topsides and below waterline fair.
Barrier undercoat applied to the topsides and another round of sanding to take out minor blemishes.
The above photos show polyurethane undercoat going on the topsides last Friday, the wet look gives a taste of what’s to come after the finishing sand and the top coat goes on later this week.
While we are on a roll, the cockpit will be painted, the deck head will be undercoated, and the interior bulkheads finished off before interior work kicks off again.
Everything is ready for the bottom paint so we might get this on before my painter goes on holiday.”

Hi Windows I am the owner of Cest la Vie. A wooden run about seen on WW earlier this year. I am in need of help with painting particularly the underside. Can any WW’s help with advice?
Cheers
