Description

Painting and varnishing is part art and part science. The keys to success are a well-conceived plan of action, the correct choice of tools and materials, a careful preparation of the surface, proper application of the coating, and a "feel" for what you are doing. That's AIDA on the cover... a Herreshoff keel/centerboard yawl.
