Hi everyone, It is October and sailing season has pretty much come to an end in Minnesota. I am looking to refurbish the wood on the 1981 monty 15 that I bought last winter. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on what worked well for them at any point in the process. From taking off the wood (which I am doing now) to sanding to making it look good, any help would be appreciated. Also the toe rail is wood and I want to take that off but I still need to transfer it to storage. Does the toe rail keep the top of the boat and the bottom of the boat attached? It looks like that is what is keeping it together and if I took it off I wouldn't want to be driving down the highway with it. Any thoughts? Thanks, Ted
