[Alberg30] Interior Wood

[Tom Sutherland]

David,

I gutted the entire interior (all but the bulkheads) of hull number 412
several years ago and stripped it down to bare wood. I then refinished
with eight coats of high gloss quality varnish (I used Epiphanes) (sp)
as was recommended by this list and I have been very, very pleased. It
looks as good as the day it was done. It is so refreshing to have a
project which lasts and has required no maintenance. 

Plus, I believe an Alberg should look more like a Hinkley than a Hunter
... which it will...  IMHO.
