No doubt it is but….I don’t have a shed….or anyone that sprays boats on the Isle of Man….or enough money to pay for it if they did….and I like doing all my own work.
I should have just posted pictures of the finished article ? Soon hopefully. Finished sanding for good today. Compounding from now on….thank God

But that boat is red, and he is wants a blue one..

He could do one side red and the other blue, and then decide which he likes best. You’ll almost never see both sides at the same time, so no one will think it strange.

His boat was red but not to worry. A few marina skirmishes and fender rash and one side will be red again.

you lot are awful, it's just plain jealousy!
and tbh I cannot see why you're jealous of an open boat up there with no cabin, just one heads and three holding tanks

just one heads and three holding tanks
It's an indictment of how full of crap he is.
Nobody is jealous of that paint job. They're too busy congratulating themselves for never having to embark on such a torrid job. The only thing worse has to be hand scraping antifoul off. And then who cares if it's not a perfect job.
Pirate etiquette. Never lie to your mate if there is the opportunity to get the boot in.

No one’s laughing at you, we’re all commiserating, we’re all in the same boat.
The only ones laughing are those who don’t have the “pleasure” of owning a boat

Tell Paul he's doing off season work during season but if he gets his boat in the water this weekend he can join us for a suckling pig spit roast on the beach. Price of entry more derision and belly laughs. Or he can sand and polish some more. The weather is good for both. What's the bet he chooses to keep sanding ?

The Captain of my port just this morning congratulated me on choosing such windy weather to do my sanding??

Good man! He obviously likes to see the spread of AF dust settle and stain the surrounding boats. It looks particularly good after a light rain to finish the artwork.
Red or Blue? Personally I think pink drizzle is so yesteryear

I’m thinking black, because it’s white now so I’ll be able to see any missed patches

When the IOM opens we could all go and take our 4 inch grinders , we can’t do a worse job.
