Dodger is painted

The painted dodger was lowered onto the boat late this afternoon.

It's the first piece of the boat to be fully painted and it looks beautiful. The exterior is a high gloss white and the interior has a matte finish. The handholds, inside and out feel very solid and look great.

Because it inhibits the steady flow of workers in and out of the boat, the dodger will only be on the boat for a day or so to check out some wiring channels and double check the location of the lights. Then it will be removed and they will begin installing the solar panels and related wiring. In 4-6 weeks it will return to the boat to be glassed in place before the deck is painted.
