Internal: Varnish

Posted on June 4, 2021 by admin

While the wood finish on the exterior is varnish – the interior is a mix of oil and varnish. I am slowly moving the interior to 100% varnish. I did a bit of this in the wheel house today.

Louver Panels, Fuel

Posted on June 3, 2021June 3, 2021 by admin

I decided to fetch the louver panels from the mezzanine in the boathouse and install them. It would appear that they have not been installed in a long time as I had to install supporting bits first. Tossed 4 cans of fuel into the port side. Seems to have leveled out across starboard so no…

Forward Cabin, Hull Label, Wheel

Forward Cabin Two passes with white semi-gloss on the ceiling and starboard side of the forward cabin. Looks *much* better – fresh! Hull Label Stopped in at Sechelt Sign. Worked on a new hull label. The old label will be removed when the hull is painted so an opportunity to improve on things – or…

The plan was to give the two forward hatches a quick sand a apply a coat of varnish. Unlike the rest of the boat these hatches were last done with the ‘Spar’ brand of varnish and were a lighter colour. The varnish was falling off – totally expired after just two years. I removed the…

Paint and Varnish

Posted on May 26, 2021 by admin

Spring is here and it is now warm enough to continue with some fresh paint and varnish. I will take Merva to Lund on the 15th to have it hauled out. This will result in fresh bottom paint and probably the brightside as well. In the meantime; I have been refreshing varnish and paint in…

Paint, Clean, Water Pump, Hull Paint

Posted on April 23, 2021 by admin

Paint Spring weather is here and its warm enough to paint. I cleaned the inside of the boat, painted the other half of the kitchen (half was painted last year). It takes a minimum of two coats of the fresh white to cover up the yellowed white from 13+ years ago. I then cleaned some…
