Brightwork/varnishing for sailboat

nvmbr9 · 07-13-2010, 10:04 PM

I have a new (to me) 23' sailboat. It's fiberglass but there is quite a bit of brightwork. I have a shop on the Cape that specializes in maintaining these boats and does first rate work, but I'd like to go local. That said, there is a wide range in talent in varnishing wood, and I want and am willing to pay for first rate work. Boat will probably need a couple coats every year, and then something more thorough from time to time. Any suggestions based on experience?
