Have met several owners of Dunkirk little ships who have experimented with various epoxy systems, for both hull and decks/ supers'. All have been very pleased with the result.
Visited British Powerboat Trust (Marchwood, Southampton), and they advocate laying a thin sheet of mat which is then coated with resin. Their "102" boat has not been painted now for some years (roughly 5?). I think that says something for it.
