I have a 2002 356. There are finally a few areas in the paneled companionway and kitcken counter bead surround that need a little refinish effort. Since I’m a woodworker the labor and skill is easy, but getting the correct shade stain or varnish/stain blend is a bit tricky. I don’t want it to look like a touch up when I’m done. So if there is a sailor with my vintage SV who has figured this out that would be very much appreciated. Such as brand and stain color and maybe sheen. Thanks from The North Channel, Canada

That is a very good question! I have a 1992 33.5 I have done two projects on it as far as needing to stain. I use Cherry and Mahogany to get the color I need by applying a coat at a time with a rag. Most people can’t see the difference.

Your owners manual should spec it. For my 1998 Hunter they used Daly's Sea Finn Oil. If you call the manufacturer they may be able to help as well.
