Hopefully finished varnishing for a bit. We had repaired and varnished the steps down into the saloon plus the woodwork behind, but there was a piece of black plastic on the port side as you came in that just looked out of place, so we removed it and cut a piece of marine ply which I stained and varnished to match in with the teak behind the steps. We are very pleased with the result.
The for'ard cabin had been used as a workshop when the boat was a live-aboard around the world. This meant the woodwork was in a terrible state of repair. I have slowly been repairing, stripping and revarnishing. The wood is such it will never be perfect, but the cabin is very much more liveable in than it was.
The final part is the forepeak, Again not perfect, but looking very much more presentable. We have just ordered new covers for the mattresses, and I am sure when finished the cabin will look very nice indeed.
