Painting the rudder
Today I prepared the rudder box for painting. The plywood and oak do not make a pleasant colour combination, and the honey-coloured layer of Woodoc 50 did nothing to improve it. So I decided to paint the rudder white but leave the oaken battens it's natural colour. (This will echo the rest of the boat, where the sheer strakes are plain varnished, but the rest of the boat is stark white.) So today I masked the oak battens with masking tape. During the week the rudder will be painted by the spraypainter, when he paints drawing boards.
