1971 Newport 30 Sailboat
Finally got to the galley storage shelf. Replaced side panel, painted interior light gray, and sanded/stained/varnished teak frame. Also added rubber liner to keep things from sliding around inside.
Next up for it: install LED strip inside, replace old sliding doors with new semi-transparent panels, and mount it securely.
Touched up non-skid in a few places. I think I’m done with exterior paint for some time now. Not that it’s perfect but I think it is good enough 🙂
With primer dry, it was time to paint the bow repair and the new propane locker. Got better weather than yesterday. Still a bit windy but manageable for spraying. Ended up with a few runs anyway, impossible to avoid in conditions like these.
Made a new side cover on CNC and trying glow paint to make a fun Newport 30 sign on it.
Took time to do proper rounded corners 🙂
Built a new locker for storing propane tank, regulators, solenoid, and valves. Plan to install it in the stern by making a new cut-out, glassing in the box so it’s air tight and drains overboard, and the creating a lid out of the piece I’ll cut out.
