Square Meter: Varnish on the top sides

The mahogany planking on the topsides is in fine shape with the exception of two planks that had some rot.  We replaced these and did our best at spot staining to bring them close to the old mahogany color.  At this point we sanded up to 220, blew everything off and started varnishing.
Here are some photos:

Before we got to varnish the house, we added 6oz glass set in epoxy.  This stiffened it up and stopped what would have been a leaky roof.

Ready to go. We dropped the straps before varnish.
The hull is balanced on it's keel with steel angles holding the boat upright.

The hull is getting a light staining above the waterline.
In this photo the new biaxial glass skin is visible. From the waterline down, we added layers of glass set in epoxy.
The boat will most likely be used for a month each summer, so this was the route the owners decided on.

Before and after the first coat of varnish.
