Can't help it - and the worst thing about wooden boats from a maintenance
point of view is that they are biodegradable - i.e they rot.

The best thing about wood construction is the sound that a wooden hull
makes sailing thru the water. The next best thing is the built-in
flotation. From a viewpoint of political correctness, the best thing about
wood boats is that they are biodegradable.

Hi
The vorse thing about a steel boat is that it will rust at some point
about a glasfiber that it to will reach an age where the repair of the
hull don't justify buying all that other stuff new , what's bad with
any hull materials are that they last somewhere the same time and at
some point it's needless to restore what is one third the final cost
of a boat the hull, if you also need a new engine, a new propellor rig,
cabin deck floor and electrics hydralics and corkscrew.
Tradisional is no vorse or better and if you think it ask more
maintaince you proberly never had one.
