      Good morning,

      As my boat will be 60 years old next year (36 with me), I’m going to try and carry out some restoration:

      Epoxying the whole inside. The deck is off and I’ve stripped the varnish off to bare wood. Is one coat of epoxy sufficient followed by lots of varnishing?

      Series 1 mast step conversion. I have the plans. I have a wooden mast. Does this make any difference?

      Bow buoyancy chamber. I’m going to fit a chamber with a shelf between the top and the deck for stowing. Do I need to fit a floor for the chamber? Are there any drawings of how this is fitted?

      New deck. I have 5 mm Robbins Elite. My old deck was c.2 mm. I’ll need to fit new centre strips in the bow and stern decks so the new deck is flush. Any views?

      I realise that these topics will have been covered before so links to those posts will be great.

      Regards,
