Can someone please advise me?
The bow and stern railings,are they gloss or satin finish, also the mast is that gloss or satin, looking at some photos the white railings look to be gloss.
Your advise please.

Hi Garard, Stuart here my Mast I have done Matt with mixed varnish of Matt and satin 50 50, The railings satin. I don't think they are gloss as when I went to see the Severn I did look at them and it was raining so not sure but satin looks good.
how is your Severn coming a long.

Hi there Gerard, the railings all round grey and white ones and the mast looks satin, probably because they're moored afloat. I've got loads of pictures of Holyheads Severn 'Christopher Pearce' if they're any good to you? I was lucky enough to be taken for a ride on it while they were doing an exercise one Sunday morning, I won't forget that in a hurry! Dave.   :-))
