For the start of my 21st season on North River 2 we stripped the varnish on the coaming, toe rails, rubrails. and transom. Will do the same for the hull after the season. Wood is good but it does require attention.
North River 2 is a Buzzards Bay 14. It was designed in/about 1945 (like me) by L. Francis Herreshoff, and built at The Boat School in Eastport, Maine in 1985.
