I took a vacation day and made it a long weekend to accomplish the painting. Last weekend saw the final bit of sanding completed.
Masking took the first morning with the first coat completed in the afternoon.
The next day began with giving it a light sanding to rub off the burr's raised up by painting bare wood, then the second coat followed by a third coat on just the easy to roll-on surfaces.
The fore-deck looks pretty good considering what it had looked like.
Even with using good painter's tape, which is supposed to have a light adhesive, the tape pulled up a lot of the old varnish. This made no difference on the inside since I'm going to give it a new coat anyway, but on the outside just under the gunwales suffered and will need a touch-up.
