The batteries are charged, and the electrical system tested. Still have to order and install cabin lighting. The storage locker in the bow is painted, as well as the trim in the cabin.
I started a cardboard mock-up of a cockpit tent for beach camping and storage. It's my good luck there is a boat canvas guy just about two miles from my door.

Interior paint work is well along. I'm back onto the centerboard, and just about ready to finish the rudder.
