The 25ft clinker built Folkboat was hauled ashore onto our
large trailer. The boat was suffering from heavy weed encrustation and
fouling to the bottom. This was pressure washed off using our
high pressure water jet machine.
The bottom was then finished by an overall sanding followed by
two coats of antifoul.
The mast was unstepped using our Derrick, and the boat moved
into our workshop.

The topsides were also in need of some tender loving care as
the varnish was badly flaking off.
The remains of the existing varnish was removed. Careful
preparation of the topsides were undertaken which included heavy sanding.
The topsides were then treated with a number of coats of the Sikkens Stain
system.
She is looking now as pretty as in the pictures above.
