      I’ve recently purchased my first boat, a GRP GP14 for my 2 boys to sail at Carsington Sailing Club. It appears to be in very good condition, although it didn’t come with any kind of cover.

      I am after advice on a suitable varnish to apply, any necessary preparation and anything to be wary of, such as whether the varnish could adversely affect the hull if it came in contact with it.

      The boat was a bargain and doesn’t owe anybody anything, but we will want to protect it from the weather to prolong it’s usefulness. I’ve seen a few covers that cost more than we paid for the boat, sails and both trailers, so cost is a factor. I’ve also noticed that a few of the companies that used to make covers are no longer around or the websites have moved, so any recent purchase information would be appreciated.

      Thanks in advance

      Robin
