Spinnaker Yacht Varnish
When the wood is to be varnished, it must also be beautiful. Grain, colour, work can only be perfect because there is no chance to hide their defects afterwards. That’s why varnished wood is said to have the highest beauty and the varnish is to be the best without compromise. When you admire the brightness and the perfect finish of the boat next to yours it means that SPINNAKER YACHT VARNISH was used.
Wooden boats have always demanded high care and attention, but it is also certain that the exposed wooden parts (varnished or natural like teak, etc.) have always given, with their carving skills and the perfect choice of the right shades of wood, an impression of the craftsman’s or the boatyard’s capability. Wood is very important and also cannot be substituted in fibreglass or metal boats, and a very successful advertising of a plywood producer says: “How much wood do you need to make a fibreglass boat?” That’s right, because bulkheads, flooring, cupboards, doors, drawers and finish of the decks find in wood the material that offers types and characteristics which put it in the forefront in construction. Furthermore the warmth which emanates, the tonal balance and the natural grains of these essences match well with the marine environment and with nautical and natural items that we are looking for up and down the sea.
Wood doesn’t only represent the charm of an old construction, it is also indispensable in fibreglass boats and is an outstanding technical material for its lightness, resistance, flexibility, last but not least it is even sound-insulating, elastic and has a very high resistance level, if well structure it is never tired “it has no memory”; it is a material really impossible to replace.
Being, like we are, very keen on boats, you will certainly know how important it is to choose the right varnish. After all, varnish is the first to be attacked by agents and therefore it has to be resistant, long lasting, easy to apply and obviously 100% marine. For this reason expert sailors have always relied upon and trusted SPINNAKER.
SPINNAKER was tested for millions of nautical miles proving to be the best varnish for all boat and wood types.
SPINNAKER not only protects and seals for the entire year but, by providing a glossy, deep and long lasting finish it enhances the wood’s beauty, safely maintaining its beauty over the years.
SPINNAKER knows wood well, and has a very wide range of articles to always meet the most differing needs in the right and professional way.

It is very economical because of its high yield, its durability over the years, and because it enhances craftsmanship.

Spinnkaer Eggshell
SPINNAKER POLYURETHANE EGGSHELL (matt, one-pack, thixotropic – dense). Once, in order to give a warmer appearance to the interiors, with very fine sanding paper we used to sand down the furniture and the walls treat them with bright copal resin and finish them with oils and waxes.
SPINNAKER POLYURETHANE EGGSHELL sorted out this problem years ago in the most outstanding, economical and easiest manner. SPINNAKER POLYURETHANE EGGSHELL gives wood a fantastic silkiness maintaining the warm interior colours unchanged, eliminating light reflections and reverberations. Thanks to its adhesiveness it can also be applied on gloss surfaces already treated with other products. On new, particularly porous wood, you obtain an unbeatable high-class finish with three coats.
SPINNAKER EGGSHELL is not only very suitable for interior woods because its matt colour eliminates reflections and covers small work imperfections, it is resistant to boiling water, hot surfaces, cosmetics, alcohol and it can be mixed with gloss types in order to obtain a less matt finish. It can also be applied outside.

The second coat mat be applied in the same day and the next on the second day and the wood can be walked on. Spinnaker Wood Protection is also highly suitable for the dents that expose the wood to bad weather and can be covered afterwards with the whole range of Spinnaker varnish products.

Its ideal for the easy maintenance of chalets, wooden fences, pergolas and for the protection of window and door fittings, doors and all garden furniture in wood.
