Boom works almost complete on SV Amigo. 8 coats of Coelan high gloss varnish applied, after 2-3 coats of primer. A high strength, flexible, and UV resistant coating that is a solid choice for long lasting protection in the Mediterranean sun. #boating #sailing #yachting #boatworks #boatmaintenance

Theo made a survey for us and we were totally amazed to see how skillful he is. The details were wonderful, showing a good level of expertise. His meticulous professionalism can be seen throughout the long report, detailed explanations, and recommendations' maps.app.goo.gl/bJenQP2bsdCp... #boating

Coelan varnish going on thick. Several coats later. This stuff really needs working in but with effort you get great results. #boatworks #boating #classicyachts #yachts #sailing #marineindustry #boatrefit

Woodwork continuing on the classic S&S 55' timber yawl. Using Coelan for the coating of the timbers. It's a very powerful, heavy duty, expandable, and UV resistant coating with impressive results. This is just the red pigment primer. #boats #wood #sailinh #classic #classicboat #woodworking #yacht

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I'm listening (very late) on/to (??) catch up.... But I would say an orca whale. 4 in fact. 10 miles out at sea at night. And my little boat put up a good fight but took a right pummeling. www.yachtingmonthly.com/cruising-lif... The fishy gits.
