I'm sure you'd help out any friend with any boat but no one would blame you for putting that guy/that boat a little higher up the list!
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

I take it that varnish is preferred over epoxy for teak? Or is it because it's just interior furniture?

Preferred for exterior is a seal coat of epoxy under several coats of varnish. Inside the house I took the easy route. I think the original finish in the salon is polyurethane.

Almost 2 years ago, I did a small tackle drawer that lives on deck. I sealed with epoxy and varnish coated with Epifanes, and it looks as good as day one. Picture is terrible, but it still looks and feels nice.

Plugging away on the forward sole/seat/casting deck/step. Small departure from the plans by adding 3.25" to the height of the seat, which feels more proportionate after the added height to the sole. Also, rather than the fore to aft center support, I like the athwartships approach which will not impede stashing gear under the bow.

Need to finish tabbing the sole support, and template for the anchor locker deck, and figure out how I want to integrate a hatch in the seat.

Lastly, cleaned up the clutter a bit to make her suitable for an IG pic.

Looks great! Is that the "seat" you're referring to also? Will it have a cushion etc or just a bench.

Just a bench. Guests are welcome to have their teeth beaten out of their heads whilst punching through chop.

Mmmm. Maybe keep a jar of mouthguards for any whiners.
