Wow, those beat up old coamings are starting to look real good. Can't wait to see them varnished.

new winch blocks and shined winches, To make the winchblocks match the coamings I found an alcohol based stain from the place I got the wood its made by Behlen it leaves the stain in the wood and the alcohol evaporates allowing the wood to be pourous to soak up the varnish but the coamings are all natural thats only the look of the varnish.

Keep posting them pictures Paul. Love that big spinnaker with the emblazoned number 5, you have to get that flying, make Bill happy. Are you going to mount the jib sheet cleats on your new winch blocks?
As a fellow member of the "Fix Her Up While She's In The Water Auxiliary" I salute you and your important work! Looks like you live in a great area for sailing.
