Before quitting last night, I put a clear coat of epoxy on the main hatch.
Today I sanded it smooth and it's now ready for varnish, but I'll let it cure for another 24 hours before doing that.
Here's how it looks now. Keep in mind that it will look better with varnish... so will the deck.
Some may look at this first picture and say that the hatch is too slanted up aft. I agree that the picture make it look that way. However, in real life it doesn't. I saw this picture and thought, "That looks odd...", but the real thing looks good.
This is a more realistic image of what the hatch looks like. Rarely will you see the boat from directly on the beam.
Next step... varnishing the hatches and deck. I would have set up all the rigging first, but my sail guy is unavailable for two weeks, so I'll just proceed with the varnishing and then drill holes through it when needed. No worries...
Aloha!
