The
Privilege 42 we sail has a beautiful
wood interior but the
teak doorway has suffered from exposure to sun and
salt. Serendipitously, while in Admiralty Bay, Bequia Winfield Sargeant of Friendshipside Yacht Services stopped by to offer his services, refinishing, polishing and painting. I was a little skeptical but, Chris Doyle likes him so, we invited him to come by again for a discussion. After a time we came to a financial agreement and seven days later we were delighted with the results. Winfield scrapped, sanded and sealed the three paneled doorway and then applied six separate coats of
varnish, meticulously
sanding between each coat. there are no brush marks, no sags and no runs, hard to distinguish from factory sprayed. So, if you are in the
Windward Islands and your
boat could use some sprucing up, look up Winfield in Bequia, he monitors
VHF 68, his
email is
friendshipside2@yahoo.com and his cell is 784-458-0882.
