Brightwork (double session class)
Jeanette DeFreist
Ever wonder how it is the sun dances on the mirror-like finish of beautiful trim on your neighbor's boat, but your wood trim looks like you used a blunt object to apply varnish? A good varnish finish protects wood from the harsh realities of the marine environment. A mirror-like finish is the boat bling that turns heads at the dock. Experience hands-on the steps for preparation and application of varnish that can make your wood trim glisten! This is a double-session in the garage. Bring an old shirt to protect your clothing.
Jeannette has been drawn to the water since her childhood on the edge of the Pacific. She spent part of her college tuition on a dinghy. When she did not have a boat, she found others to sail. She taught sailing to blind people. A recent sabbatical gave her a chance to sail from the Virgin Islands to Croatia. Her background in architecture and engineering paired with a tired old boat is how she began to play with fiberglass and epoxy. She owns a rebuilt J29 which she sails and races with friends as well as short-handed. She's also a graduate of West System's Fiberglass Boat Repair Workshop; the infamous "Glue U." We think she may have given them a few tips.
Skill level: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced
