Hi All, Does anyone have a contact address for the owner of this boat Estrellita? He used a non-slip on his decks that looks like an after market matting. I would like to find this product as to use it myself. Please advise. His boat is looking very nice. Larry V-2761 Sent from Windows Mail

If your boat has mahogany instead of teak I would just varnish it.
There is so little wood on the boat that it is only about a day a
year for you to maintain it assuming you do it often enough that
the varnish does not crack and peel. The mahogany on the boat is
far more handsome than teak in my opinion. The mahogany not being as
oily as teak holds varnish much longer with deep rich color.
Anyway thats what I think. OF course I am nearly 80 years old and
when I was young only mahogany was used for trim. WE did use teak
deaks but teak was mostly crate wood in those days. When You got a
shipment of china the crates were made of teak. Inch and a half
thick teak decks were the cats meow and cheap as dirt. All you did
was scrub them with a holy stone a couple times a year. Doug

Hmmm ... that sounds good, but isn't the door also wider than the opening?The galley cabinets on either side are glued and fastened with brads, rather than being bolted in like the rest of the woodwork. I ended up removing both cabinets and taking them into the shop for refinishing. I had to do a bit of destructive dismantling to get the doors out, namely prying off the upper rail on the inside of the cabinet. Carefully done you can avoid splintering it, or make a new rail to replace the old one.Peterwww.sintacha.com

Dawg Gone, Ground Hog, my last post sounded kind of snarky or sharp
or something and I didn't mean it that way. Sorry, Doug

I've an early Vega; there's a double-slotted hardwoord rail top and bottom. Two thin plywood sliding doors each more than 50% width so that they overlap.Removing the outer door makes space to remove the inner.I find the starboard doors are sometimes tricky to get out if they've swollen with damp (I keep meaning to replace them with plastic; it's been an item on my to-do list for 20+ years).Of course, you may have a completely different design, whether different model or previous owner's adaptation.AlisdairV752
