Just 4 coats on most so far - 7 or so will complete the job for this year. 7.5 days to wood (strip) and get to this point, two of those days with an extra willing hand. I'll post a few more taken on a sunny day, assuming we are going to have one some day here in the mid-Atlantic. The toe and rub rails will remain in simple teak oil. New canvas next year......

A well varnished boat is a happy boat. You did a fabulous job and she just radiates happiness.
