Canvas for the Chestnut

Repairs are done, new canvas going on to be filled and painted in the spring, along with a new keel and final coats of varnish on the inside


Long a fan of the upside down method, tall sawhorses make it a more comfortable process


New roll of #12, enough for the next 4 boats


Stretching tight


The immovable object, fine while the weather is nice!


Nice and tight, fastened at the rails 


Almost done


Preservative, a necessary steop



Zinc concentration has been reduced due government regulation, from 8% to 2% but strong smell remains



Done and drying, waiting to be filled
