The final course of the Outward Bound OBX season ends this weekend. By this time next week I will be able to devote my energies towards boat repairs full time. With today's progress on the chainplates it feels like many of the repair projects are moving along and beginning to pick up some steam. Below is a pictorial progression of refinishing the chainplates...
Above is the worst of the damage discovered. We made repairs to the deck fittings and stopped the leaks a couple years ago, but we never removed and refinished the forward chainplates. Despite the rust in the initial image. The chainplates have plenty of metal remaining. Rather than replacing the plates we had them sandblasted to remove all the rust.
The above image is post sand blasting with primer.
And here they are as of 19:00 this evening after 3 coats of paint.
