: I'm getting close to finishing my Spring Run. I am planning to join deck and
: hull this weekend and installing bulkheads next week. I doubt that I will
: have time to get a coat of varnish on before the Port Townsend Rendezvous,
: but I would still like to take the nearly-finished boat up for show &
: tell.

: Are there any steps I should take to protect the boat from 60 mph insects and
: ultraviolet rays on the trip to Port Townsend, or would you recommend
: leaving the boat at home until it is finished?

: Thanks.

: Brian I'm taking mine up it just needs varnish. I've been paddling mine for a week now just to see what changes I should make or mods to do. It's got a little darker { 12 hrs. in the sun } but no damage from transporting {200 miles}. Hope to see you there I have a osprey with purpleheart trim and some other mods.
