Any real sailor would throw your paint and shiny **** out the hatch.
lime, oil and wax the bloody wood and be done with it. its cleanable
easy on the eyes and cheap. and it takes about 30 min to apply. its
not going to choke you out with fumes nore make your eyes water. if
you dont have to have the filtered bees wax it will cost about 5
dollers to make up enough to coat your cabin.

Oh, please! Why make a virtue out of being a cheapskate? But, the old, tried
and true methods, if they please you and don't involve extra hours of
maintenance, are nothing to sneeze at provided you're on a budget. And it
sounds like you have a wooden boat. Wood is more comfortable than GRP any
day. But the endless hours of maintenance are prohibitive. For those of us
who wish to sail more than we work, GRP is the only way to go.
