Companionway Hood & Cabin Roof | Final Coat

I left the seatbacks and the rear cabin wall to cure for a couple of days and wet sanded the overlap onto the cabin roof and the seatback tops.

Using a felt roller sleeve I then applied the fifth and final coat of gloss to the companionway hood and the cabin roof.

This is what it looked like, viewed from starboard.

No bad at all! The felt roller certainly achieves a better finish than the foam.

The rear face of the tabernacle got its final coat at the same time, like this.

Lastly I pulled the tape from the toe rails, revealing the sapele for the first time in months!

Here is the starboard rail.

This feels like real progress, at last.
