Sikkens Cetol for use on National 12 Dinghy	31 Dec 2005 12:39 GMT	7
I have a part wood, part GRP "Baggy Trousers" N12 to sand and varnish. It's not too long in the tooth to race - so I want a practical coating for a season of capsizing in lake water, not a showroom finish. It will also be stored outdoors under a boom over cover.
