Gypsy Rose ~ More Before & After Photos



We have had four months of sanding, scraping, rebuilding, repairing, painting, oiling wood, varnishing, polishing brass, fiber-glassing,  replacing parts and rigging, and cleaning.
Now, It's time to set the mast and put her in the water.

Are we happy?
You Bet!

Some of you asked for more photos . . .
There are still a lot of little jobs to do.
Finishing up the port hole windows
&
Replacing all the rigging  (ropes to all you non-sailors).
Sailboats have what seems like miles of different ropes
 and each one has a job to do.
This boat has been sitting for so long that all of her's were rotten. 

We're almost on the water.
Hopefully my next post will be lake photos.

Please leave a comment, I read them all.

  4. Did you ever varnish over that epoxy? It would be a shame to watch all that work degrade in the sun.
