homemade sailboat walkaround

This is part 2 of my homebuilt sailboat. Freshly painted above the waterline only with exterior oil marine paint. Lord have mercy, there is so much sanding left to do. Up close,some parts of the surface look like a pepperoni pizza.
The real trick to making a boat of any type, is to make it look like it was NOT homemade. Thats the real test. A refridgerator box will float. But it needs to look good.
You can see some rough edges that need sanding and repainting. Trust me, its worse up close. I expected this however.

For part 1, type in HOMEBUILT SAILBOAT BEING HAULED OUT .

Oh, sorry for the shakey video. I had 2 Redbulls and it was a hot day.

thanks.

This sleek design is from Ray Kendrick Multihulls PTY. of Australia. Google his company. Unlike some homebuilts, his designs are sleek and modern.
