We bought the Simrishamn in late June 2006 knowing that it required attention - especially the mahogany and teak brightwork. The Cetol varnish had broken down and all the brightwork would have to be stripped and refinished. We put the boat under cover in October, John spent 200+ hours scraping, sanding, and finishing and the boat went back in the water in June. More to do but it looks much better.
