Canvas decks nearly finished!

#1856709 - 13/05/2008 09:23

After posting on here a while ago about my leaky canvas decks I took the suggestions and used Sandtex paints. I've also stripped back more wood on the cabin and varnished it up.

A few photos here: http://www.yachtshoestring.co.uk/2008/05/new-colours.html

Thank you to everyone for your advice!!!

Tony.

Hello Tony,

I just wanted to say that I have had a look at your website, and I think that Shoestring looks absolutely lovely, she is a real credit to you! I have always been very fond of Folkboats, and some of their derivatives, to my old eyes they look just right somehow, what's the phrase they use these days, "fit for purpose"?

Happy sailing, Chrusty.

Thanks Chrusty,

Folkboats are indeed wonderful, I am biased!
