V-Berth Cabinets

Another winter project almost complete. The v-berth cabinets are stained with Cordova filler stain and varnished with Interlux Goldspar satin varnish. The new and old side match pretty well. I'll now store them until they can be installed in the boat, hopefully next fall, after the port bottom work is complete.


The v-berth the way it looked at the beginning of the project.


The wood cut and bleached. The section on the right is original, the section on the left new. .


The wood stained and varnished.

I have a 64 37' connie that I have had for 35 years. I am in the process of redoing it but nothing as drastic as you are encountering. It has to be a love afair. my kids tell me I am crazy for attempting this at 68 but we should have it finished this year. When done it will have all new tanks,engines a 6.5 kw kohler hydrolic steering and controls.
