Bob, if you're a woodworker, you won't have any trouble. Remove all the wood from the boat and separate all the parts - be patient, it's like a big jigsaw puzzle. Then sand it all down to bare wood - I did mine with a random orbit sander and 60-grit paper and it went pretty fast and easy. Then finish sand, and varnish. You'll probably use up about a gallon of varnish on the job - you'll want 5 or 6 coats.
