[Alberg30] hairlines in cockpit

[Scott Wallace]

Monsieur Yves,

There is little you cannot do to your boat, that experts can do much better!  Remember,
"experts" may earn a living at doing different things, so the quality/cost value may vary
considerably between "experts".  You may often be grossly overcharged for mediocre work done
by "experts" that you would be better served by doing yourself!  If you spray paint your
boat with epoxy paint, be sure to rent an airline respirator!

Good Luck,

Scott Wallace
