Some ‘old’ home movie footage, of Pacific, note the varnished cabin top, we like that 🙂

Update from Grant Burrell
This movie is taken around 1960 before the wheel house cabin was extended and the stern cabin had canvas sides. The cabin was never varnished but my Grand Father painted an imitation fake painted wood grain, It did look good, worked well on a swing mooring but the dark paint dried the timber when on the marina.
