Varnishing
March 29, 2020 by Sailing Fair Isle | Language: EN Play Time: 00:11:28 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
If you’re currently locked down on your boat or just planning what you’re going to do when you get back to her, take the opportunity to get on with some varnishing.
We have a lot of varnish on Fair Isle so I get a plenty of practice applying it!
I’ve found Epifanes to be the best high quality varnish, but it’s hard work to apply and maintain.
Because of this I only use it in select places and I use International Woodskin everywhere else. This is MUCH easier to deal with and still looks good. Check out this video for lots of tips.
If you’re varnishing you don’t want lots of other people around making dust, it’s perfect for social distancing!

Sailing Fair Isle
We have sold our house in the UK and moved aboard our boat. She is a classic cutter rigged 48 foot Hans Christian; a very strong blue water boat more than capable of sailing around the world. Just hope we are! We are professional documentary filmmakers working for the BBC and many other TV stations around the world. Broadcasters aren't interested in commissioning sailing programs these days so we are launching our channel online. Sailing Fair Isle is aiming to be more than just a vlog showing our travels. It will be a travel log, but also a documentary style show with proper content and broadcast technical standards. That's the plan anyway. Lets see how it goes.
