Hull: part-painted

Photo yesterday
Just to get an idea of the colour scheme, took this yesterday.  The green on the hull is not to the waterline yet: I'll do that when she gets to the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, which is this Saturday.  The "Donegal Green" colour was the only Marine Green I could get in Hong Kong, and it looks pretty much like British Racing Green that I wanted, so I'm quite happy with that. [On reflection "Donegal" being a county in Ireland, it's a kind of "British Racing Green"....]
Today we hang the rudder and drill the hole through the Transom for the tiller... A bit scary to drill through the nice Chinese Mahogany transom.....
Managed yesterday to source some gudgeons and pintles with Storm Force Marine.  Not something that there's much call for in Hong Kong, apparently...
