After only one summer of sun my natural finish has become blotchy. I did apply uv protection varnish but I guess it wasn't enough. I'm doing a little sanding now and will be painting it dark green soon. Another problem I'm working on is the rub rails. I got quite a few places where the wood has blackened slightly. I'm assuming it's because moisture got in some how but I can't imagine how after all of the coats of epoxy and varnish that was on them. I'm also planning on adding the inwales that I never got around to during the build.
This is my first boat and a wooden one at that. I'm guessing that there will be some kind of maintenance to do every winter!
