"I use TeaQua on my rails and companionway doors. I've only had to apply it once to the doors since the original oil faded. I do my rails in the spring. Just a quick sand and rub it on."
S/V Morning Star
Boat show yesterday, spent the day with the crew looking at goodies and talking to engineers, designers, builders, mnaufacturers and the inevitable sales people. With the weather being so bad we are not accomplishing much right now. I did receive the PHRF certificate for our boat (Performance Handicap Racing Fleet), our particular rating is 150, which means that we get a handicap of 150 seconds per nautical mile from here to Hawaii. That's 2057 miles x 150 / 3600 gives us 85.71 hours handicap or 3.57 days. So now to research sail numbers and get one assigned the have to be applied to some or all the sails as well as to a generic piece of material that can be attached to the gull in case of dismasting.
The inspection process of this race is quite daunting, it seems to go on forever.
we continue to try and get people to contact our kickstarter accound so that we can use the fliers to support a sales pitch to the vendors for parts and suppies donations.

Maintainig teak companionway doors
The finish/stain on the companionway doors on my 2012 B40 are fading and need something. I would like top keep the original satin finish. Benetau told me the stain they use is proprietary, and not available to purchase. I am not a fan of Cetol or other shiny finishes. Any suggestions?
Inspiration
A caveat of being questioned or receiving an inquiry in Sea Knots is the resulting inspiration. This morning Lola asked if I am sailing alone. A few days ago a girl from my home base, sent an intriguing message via email. Such communication is received with approbation. Venturing far from family and friends has been a daunting experience. Throughout my teenage years until after I retired from the workforce believing people like me has been difficult. The overwhelming calls, texts and e-mails…See More
