Bulwarks

These were actually easier to fit than the instructions implied. I just did as Robbe suggested and it worked. Two issues.

The dimensions given for the scuppers seem to set them too low relative to the deck. I raised them about 1mm.

The guwale plastic profile does not match the shape of the hull. Although they fit snugly along their lower edge, there is an unsightly gap between the edge of the deck and the inner edge of the gunwales. This is impossible (for me anyway) to fill as it would inevitably muck up the edge of the planked deck. I read somewhere that someone else used silicone mastic, which seems a good idea to me but not until the painting is 100% complete.

Painting the hull

All being well, the inside of the bulwarks will be white, the upper hull black, white waterline, red under water, all gloss, after all, this is a millionaires yacht!!
I am going to follow the folowing sequence

1. Prime all over, done
2. Red below waterline, done
3. White waterline, done
4. Fit bulwarks using instant glue and fill screw holes
5. Prime bulwarks
6. Paint inside bulwarks and deck edge white
7. Paint outside black
8. T cut and polish

Hopefully, that will work. One problem, hull was upside down for about a week and the keel weight fell out fortunately without damage to the hull. Moral, fit weight after all the upside down stuff is complete.
