HI Mike:
I agree with your general impression…………cruisers vs racers………..however, when my boat was listed in Marblehead in 97, it stated that the cosmetics were less than average………but I knew the 38 MKII as a good boat and good for racing……..we had another successful season this year…….. But I’m very fussy about looks and function………….lots of improvements over the last 10 or so years and it does look brand new today….. I’m also in a slip on a dock with only big cruisers (power boats)………I’m the “token sailboat” so I have to keep the image up. The boat next to me is a Hatteras 40……..completely redone inside with granite countertops, 2 built-in blenders, and an ice machine……….it’s a great dock!!! Never a dry glass. Cheers, Ron C.

Previous three boats were not varnished and required oil. Current 1987 boat came from factory with varnished interior and has a LOT of wood. Never required any touchups in all the time since. 2. I found it ironic that Ron blamed cruisers for a lack of interior maintenance. That is usually blamed on people using a boat for racing. We are loving our Winnebago. Having an interior is really nice. 1987 Frers 33 Mike Persistence 1987 Frers 33 #16 Halifax, NS From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Ron Casciato via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, September 10, 2015 7:30 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: Ron Casciato Subject: Re: Stus-List C&C Interior Wood Veneer - mid 80's Jon: I’m in the camp that hates to use oil on wood since you will have to do it again sometime…………I hate maintenance. My 1977 38MKII was 20 years old when I got her in 1997, the previous owner used her for cruising and did absolutely no maintenance or care so the interior was very tired and in some cases sun bleached in the forepeak. I sanded the entire interior and coated it with MInwax Helmsman Satin Urethane….I used their gloss version on the trim edges of the bulkheads, etc. It’s been almost 20 years under my ownership ………………I wipe it down with pledge once a year and I do not plan on ever redoing it again……………it looks better than it did coming out of the factory. Just my 2 cents worth, Ron C.

Does anyone know what the wood veneer is on the mid 80's C&C's? Is it teak or some kind of mahogany? The best match I have found is the Teak Veneer Quartered from Oakwood Veneers. http://www.oakwoodveneer.com/veneers/teak-veneer.html I have tried the Watco Danish Oil Cherry as a color match as a lister recommended some time ago and it seems to be a pretty good match for my boat. Any help from someone who has worked on their wood interior would be appreciated. Jon C&C 44 Mor' Childs Play Kingston, ON
