She looks amazing!! But I just bought a Typhoon! And... I have a question for you: what do you use for your wood?!?!? Looks perfect!

Ahoy Graziella and thank you for looking. I use "Le Tonkinois" for my bright work. It's a linseed oil based natural varnish which has been around for a long time. Very easy to apply because it's a single application product and it flows perfectly. It can be applied over existing varnishes after sanding. I normally sand before the first 2 coats and then apply up to 6 coats depending on the surface. Le Tonkinois is being distributed by American Rope & Tar LLC here in the US.

The interior of this 43 year old Cape Dory 25 has to be the most Bristol of any Cape Dory 25 I have ever seen. It may well be one of the most beautiful Cape Dorys regardless of size that I have ever seen.

Thank you Roberto for your kind words. It has been a fun project and I'm enjoying every minute on the water with her.

Varuna has been sold yesterday.
