Skerry build day 52: varnish at last

After some quick sanding of the epoxied pieces I wiped down the hull and started varnishing. The process is a lot more painful than I thought it would be - the foam brushes totally suck and it took me 1.5 hours to get one coat on. I put 3 coats on the rails so that I can attach the hardware and be ready for a launch this weekend. I'll switch to a brush for the last bit of varnishing - probably 2 more coats for now.

Time: 5 hours (roughly 50-50 sanding and varnishing)
Total: 155.5
