Mama H Chicago
Mother of sailboats
Took advantage of a 75 degree sunny day today in Chicago, to sand down Red, my super Sailfish. She is going to be gifted this Christmas to a Dad, from his grown children. The plan has always been to paint her with fresh white paint. But then I saw how gorgeous the wood on her is, underneath a bunch of latex paint….
Anyone know if sailfish were made from mahogany? Oak? Something else?
So now I’m thinking I need to scrap the idea of painting her and instead just restore all her wooden glory?
