I may be alone in this sentiment but I hate the look of old neglected wood. I sanded my thirty year old wood enough to get the worst of the offending stuff off and used satin spar varnish. I think it looks great now but time will tell how long it lasts. I see finish pealing off other boats so I don't know if that will happen to me in a year or so or not. I have noticed that the sailing magazines never mention spar varnish and since I'm a hard headed fella that makes me want to use it all the more.

This chat line has been great in getting to know about the boat. I am about to refinish some of the bright work. What is the preferred finish to use, and why.
