In the backyard boat shop of Steve and Alix who are building the Atkins ketch, Arabella, the boat is taking shape into a recognizable form that will be a beauty once completed. Her house sides are built and in this video, Steve is using TotalFair to smooth and prepare the interior of the cabin top for primer and paint. He’s relying again on our bomb-proof epoxy primer, TotalProtect which will be a perfect base for his sister-approved interior color of choice, Wet Edge topside boat paint in Kingston Gray. With rapid progress and extra hands to help, the boat is coming together quickly and it’s exciting to see all the TotalBoat epoxy, primers, and paints that are helping get Arabella closer to her launching.
