Dufour 31 project | How to varnish or laquer wood | Extremely good results | Yachting Sailboat wood

Welcome to my 1978 Dufour 31 (10m) project. I have traded this for my Sturgeon 22 ft (my first sailboat). This Dufour has been neglected for several years (4?) It's insanely dirty, disassembled, and not in her best shape. In the coming months, I'm going to bring her life back. I'm not a sailor, and I don't have much boat experience, so come with me on the adventure to see the progress. The goal is to be ready in the summer of 2023. I'll cover all kinds of various topics, to gain and share my knowledge and experiences.

THIS VIDEO: I show you how to start a wood refurbishment project yourself. My teak tiller was in really bad shape, and the stern seats were also very bad, with lots of mold and algae on them.
You see that with a few pieces of sandpaper 80 grid and 240 grid, you can achieve a lot!
