@Hirilonde— I have several Redtree and Corona brushes. But this “Amber Fong” that I bought at my local Benjamin and Moore paint store is becoming my favorite. (See opening photo.) Best of all, it costs about a third as much as the badger hair brushes. If this boat had a lapstraked hull, I’d have to use a brush. These foam rollers are wonderful. (Opening photo)

What a joy to be able to sail together. Thanks for sharing the photos and video.

I have found that you need a really soft, fine bristle brush for tipping as the paints are much thinner than house paints and such. The obsessive painter will spend a lot and get badger hair. For my Lapwing it wasn't an issue for me. As the boat is ship lap planked in the classic style, semi-gloss and a few brush line was not an issue, but a goal. For all of B&B's other designs this cheapskate would buy badger hair. I have no desire to buy painting equipment, learn a new skill and deal with the health hazards of spraying.
