Retired from newspapers and television, currently sailing Thelonious II, a 1984 Ericson 381.
The teak surround of the cockpit coaming locker is a simple yet confounding piece of trim. For three years mine defied improvement by sanding, gluing, bleaching and oiling. It was built of teak scraps in the Ericson woodshop, no doubt on a jig--a jig I didn't feel like making for one job. The fact was that the coaming locker trim was shot. Its grain was exposed from 30 years of sun and sandpaper. It was paper thin at the ends. One screw hole had broken off.
