By satisfactorily I mean: durably and safely.

If yes, what are the criteria that a surveryor would use to determine
that this has been properly done ?

Thank you,

Courtney


Why bother?
If the wood is in good shape, there is no need to glass over it. If the
wood is in poor shape, glassing over it is a BAD idea and wastes your money.

A wonderful thing about a wood boat is that any damage from whatever cause
can always be repaired so the boat is at least as good as new. A patch on
fiberglass is always a weak point. Additionally, wood is arguably less
damage-prone from impact than fiberglass (of course, worms can eat wood).
Either takes a lot of work to keep looking sparkling new, less depending on
how "scruffy" you can accept.

I have a 1970 Grand Banks 32 and wouldn't trade even for a newer fiberglass
hull.

Luck,
Everett (Long Beach, CA)
