Time to Refinish
Posted by C-Dog on Aug 16, 2004
I have used my Ches 17 for 4 seasons now. This winter I think it is time I refinish it. I plan on doing the following:
1. Reinforcing the entire circumference of the hatch holes and fixing the a small crack in the deck in the aft hatch.
2. Adding 1 layer of glass on the bow and stern. These areas get abbused and I am noticing wear.
3. Sanding, repainting and varnishing. Really need to repaint - too many scratches.
4. Redoing my deck rigging. After 4 yrs, I know what I need and don't need/like.
5. Going to add that compass I always wanted.
6. Redoing the cockpit. New seat, hip braces, and padding. Have the kit recommended one now. May opt for a molded seat. Any suggestions.
Any suggestions on other things I should check/refurbish?
