Your advice is very helpful. I'm currently repainting the hull and deck of my sailboat (Cape Henry 21). I also have a client in my workshop who is building a Vaurien, and we're at the hull painting stage. The interior has been varnished (I also took your varnishing course). The hull is currently being finished, and we'll begin painting next week.

Thank you.
