…steel that is!  The boat has now been to the shot-blasting workshop.  Next thing is for the hull to be blacked and the upper sections sprayed with primer. Much of it will remain just coated in primer until the last minute.  No point in painting it yet, as it may well get scratched in the fitting out workshop, which is where it is bound for next.  Should be able to get a good look inside soon as the floor will be in before long.
