Building Spark

Clean and upright

After almost a year upside down on her trailer Spark is finally upright and clean. I still need to rip off her deck and replace it, but all the bronze keel trim is done and on and I pressure washed out 30+ years of filth. 

Having sat in a barn since the mid to early eighties, the dirty inside Spark not only was not only filled with a film of filth, but it was extremely hard to remove. Most of her internal varnish is intact, but this winter I will doing some sanding and scraping so I can paint over it in "oyster white" to clean her up even more and make the bright work pop even more.
