Coppercoat Done

Yes. I managed to get the final bits on today. Emsworth Harbour moved her in the cradle enough that I could get at the bits behind the props and she is now completely covered in coppercoat!

It feels good and means that, barring problems with the zinc anode studs we can launch ready for the Easter weekend. The original studs were so rusty as to be useless so they have to be replaced. Getting new studs has not been a problem but they are too long and so I need to cut them shorter so as to be able to get nuts and washers and such like on the inside.

Pictures should follow.
