[QUOTE="Ringo Steele, post: 386218, member: 6694"] Nice old hull, and good plans for her too. You might want to rethink the Helmsman Polyurethane (assuming Minn-Wax brand). I used it in my build, and it lasted less than a year before it was cracking and peeling from UV exposure. It you always keep it stored covered or indoors, you may be OK with it for a while. I would suggest a spar varnish instead of a spar urethane instead. I regret using the urethane, as it allowed my wood to get stained before I could see cracking, and I ended up having to paint it, so I lost that gorgeous look of the wood grain. YMMV, of course.
