My cabin sole wasn't too bad for 35 years of service but had a few dings and scratches... an is a good winter project. I'm using Minwax fast drying Polyuruthane matte finish. 4 hour drying time means 3 coats per day. I gave it a fair sanding with 120 followed by 220 being careful not to get to bare wood. I did this a few years agoit looks great, but , was pretty slipperyrugs would not stay in place and when healing under sail stuff slid all over.This time I have added crushed walnut shells to the last coat of Polyuruthane as a non skid. I did find one interesting post that said to use 3/4" masking tape over the holly so as not to have brown specks showing up. Getting the right ratio of walnut to Polyuruthane took some testingI found that 1.5 teaspoons walnut to 4 oz. Polyuruthane seemed to work. The final problem is how to keep the crushed walnuts suspended long enough to get enough on the brush. We'll see...

Stus-List 34 Rudder shaft bearing
I had a similar problem with water pooling around the rudder shaft bearing. When I went to upgrade the starting pedestal (Edson Vision II) I found that the cockpit sole was water saturated and delaminated. The solution was to cut out a 2' x 2.5' section and replace it with marine plywood that was vacuum bagged in place. This includes reinstalling the top rudder bearing and refinishing the whole cockpit sole with non skid. The yard did the work...For about $3,600. They did a great jobone that really needed to be done. No more pooling around the post. And the pedestal is beautiful :-)Spencer Johnson 84 LF 38 "Alegria"Summer- Racine.
