Skerry build day 53: done(?) at last

I spent about 10 hours varnishing the inside of the boat, the foils, and the spars. Everything got the minimum 3 coats and I'll stop here for now. Boat's going to go in the water this weekend.

The biggest pain is the rudder - when attaching the gudgeons to the boat they got tighter and the rudder doesn't quite fit properly anymore. I'm slowly stretching them out but it's a pain...

Here are some pics.

First the setup for varnishing the spars:

Time: 10 hours
