Building Spark

It's not easy being Green

Thankfully being Green is something Spark will not have to deal with anymore. Today I finished up almost all the rough sanding on her hull. Save for a few nooks and crannies I could not get into, you would never know my geep had been green.  All goes well, I start refastening her this weekend.
Interesting enough, I knew my GP had some damage at one time. I found a repair panel on the inside of the hull, but could find no trace on the outside. I found it under three layers of paint. As Spark only had four layers, she must have sustained that injury early in her racing career. It looks professionally patched, so I am not going to touch it beyond fairing it back into the hull.
