Or one that was in super-immaculate condition!

Different years during 60's early 70's, in my teens/young-20's... under the guidance of and working with high caliber shipwrights, I worked in New England boat yards on old wooden boats. I also worked (a lot) with my dad from grade school up on his wooden boats.

Whole lot more than one day in three years effort was required to keep most woodies in good condition.
