Default Ruminations on a GB 42...

How much work is involved in maintaining a wooden GB 42?

This boat was gorgeous - I mean drop dead gorgeous.

I'm not a surveyor by any stretch, but I couldn't find anything wrong
on viewing the boat. Bilges were exceptionally clean, the engine room
sparkled, the boat itself being wood - well, even up close the paint
was flawless. The teak was bright and looked oiled rather than
varnished. All the window frames were intact and showed no signs of
leaking, I didn't find any dead spots on the deck or bridge -
anywhere. Apparently the current owner is into wood working too as
there were several personal touches that were just incredible.

I am in love with this boat. The only problem is I'm not at all sure
I can maintain it at this level.

What to do - what to do.


Do you want to go boating or do you want to go maintaining?
