[Alberg30] Tiller delamination

[William Wallace]

I have the same exact problem with my 1962 Rhodes Meridian, WATERMARK.  
The tiller is composed of alternating layers of dark and light wood, 
and is in good overall shape with the exception of much of the tiller 
is delaminating, as if the glue finally failed.  I plan to dissassemble 
it as much as possible, clean carefully, sand, and rebond with West two 
part epoxy, then clamp until dry. I will then sand it to the bare wood 
and give it ten coats of interlux Schooner Varnish with UV inhibitors...
