I painted my boat!! Mini re-furb of my Hurley 24/70 in Plymouth.

From January 2022 i spent 4 months re-painting my boat, Helouise, a Hurley 24/70. I'm not sure what colour she was originally but i have painted her white and used old plans to get the painting trim as it used to be, i think. I also replaced the old rubbing rail (strafing rail).

Well done sir, Helouise is looking fantastic 👍

Thanks, John i was planning to just give her a scrub - mission-creep i think!!🤣🤣

Great job, looks really nice. I'll bet you're proud of her. Happy sailing.

@@anotherangleUK yes, I get a lot of other yachties saying how good she looks, when they pass by!😊

Hi Brendan, Hurley 24s are highly rated, see this magazine article: www.hurleyownersassociation.co.uk/reviews/h2470b.pdf
