On the Hard, Haulout Day, Part Two

Mistral came out of the water without incident and only a couple surprises -- a huge gouge below the starboard waterline and a seven-sixteenths inch gap in the stem right at the waterline. The gouge came while Center for Wooden Boat staffers were moving some docks. The gap in the stem is the likely cause of a gush of water that liked to run down the sole whenever the boat got a serious bow wave going. We've sanded and filled the gash. Heron has judiciously filled the bow gap and corked the damp seams around it. We've also faired and filled lots of other dings and chips.
Remaining tasks:
-- Tuesday: sand the filled spots and prime. Sand the rest of the hull. Sweetnail(v.?) holes in the stem for a bronze band we're replacing.
-- Wednesday: paint the topsides.
-- Thursday: bottom paint.
Random tasks for volunteers who don't have sandpaper or paint brushes: replace the prop zinc, repack the stuffing box.
Win a lunch with the Mistral skipper! This for the crew who cleans and oils the bilge.
Contribute to the Mistral endowment! We need a few hundred dollars for hard bottom paint, which can be sanded to make the boat more competitive. Otherwise we use the surplus soft bottom paint kept at the Center. This boat needs your contributions to go fast.
