The renovation to the topsides has begun in earnest. The plan is to prime and paint the deck using Interlux Perfection on the glossy areas and Kiwi Grip on the non-skid areas. The teak will have 7 coats of new varnish using TotalBoat Lust High-Gloss. I have taken all the parts that can come off the boat to do the prep and paint/varnish in the garage. I am replacing all the hand holds topside as well. The results are better than I expected. I figure this is a 2 to 3 month process working as weather and schedule allows. I've waited until the cooler temps to begin and now is the time.
