S/v Unbridled is being brought back to top condition and bright work is next on the list. Thanks for the timely instructions. I'm wrapping the wheel with parachute cord. If you can help with cord length calculations it will be much appreciated. Always enjoy your vids. DaleC&C 30
+Dale Graham Nice to hear you are bringing back the brightwork! I would love to give some advice on cord lengths for wrapping the wheel, but I have never done that before. I hope you can find something on the internet to help out with that. :) Glad you enjoy the videos!
***** When I first bought boat I sanded everything down on the topside and oiled it rather than varnish. I tried my best to keep up with the oiling, but I guess it was not enough as the wood slowly turned grey again. That is why I decided to go with varnish. :)
I'm not a fan of varnish on Teak TBH. I much prefer Star Brite Tropical Teak Oil. It has to be the 'tropical' specifically as it cures by UV, so no good for inside use. It is surprisingly abrasion resistant, only needs a couple of coats a year and water can't get under it. Teak loves it.
Thanks for taking te mystery out of that. Time to work

Have you thought of oiling the teak instead of varnishing it? Particularly on the deck rails.

I haven't heard of that product, but it sounds good!
Unfortunately Wright Mariner doesn't stock it but West Marine does.
Knapweed I'll check it out. :)
Pardon my rudeness. Great job on the varnishing and very useful tips on the use of thinners to saturate the wood. The C&C 34 is a great boat.
Knapweed I know some people prefer oil and others prefer varnish. lol Glad you enjoyed the video!
Why did I not know about you. This is good stuff
