Yes it is Epifanes Orange #21

Almost finished!

Feel free to remove me from the forum before I get whiteballed.

Sounds like bull to me!

What exactly is National Nothing Day?

Great thanks!

Was the design done by hand or is there some type of template or stencil used that the paint can be sprayed on? And the sail rigging was that a one off or a production rigging available?

Thanks!

Thanks. Interesting the various types of applications available today. I’m trying sift through them all before deciding which one to do.

Late 40’s. After I totaled a 17’ grumman in a first for me white water trip with a buddy I picked up a used OT Discovery 174, slides over rocks much better than the grumman. Since then I’ve replaced the Grumman which stays on the pond now! I have also acquired a OT tripper an OT Discovery 164...
