Looking goodWell the new Elizabeth Jane has been out of the workshop for just under a week now. I'm really pleased with both the colour and the quality of the finished job.

The paint has come out with an amazing high gloss mirror finish thanks to a paint additive called Owatrol which keeps the paint wet for longer, thus allowing the brush strokes to disapate more.

To celebrate, I've spent the week re-varnishing the window frames and cleaning out the bilge!
