1971 Newport 30 Sailboat
Took time to clean up the entry this weekend. Applied liner to the underside of the hatch and then sanded down, stained, and finished the teak trim around the companionway. Osmo Polyx Oil is such an awesome finish to work with!
That trim was exposed to the elements for some time before I made canvas cover and varnish was peeling off all over. Nice clean chocolate-colored look now!
The teak cover I CNCd awhile back finally found its place. Stained and varnished it, then epoxied the base.
Then finally screwed on the top. Looking good!
Bleached the center panels of the doors to get the red hues out, then stained teak frames. Varnished all sides. This is the last piece of panel work for the entire boat. Great milestone!
Was a bit tricky as I wanted to get all 4 sides. Using SeaGold really helped as it dries quickly.
Managed to avoid heavy runs or drips. Love that chocolate teak color in matte!
While my new shop is still under construction, it is still a useful place to do some varnish work. This may be the first boat project in the new shop!
Finally got to the galley storage shelf. Replaced side panel, painted interior light gray, and sanded/stained/varnished teak frame. Also added rubber liner to keep things from sliding around inside.
Next up for it: install LED strip inside, replace old sliding doors with new semi-transparent panels, and mount it securely.
