This was hull #25. Up untill hull 70 (I believe) the 42 had a glassed over wooden superstructure that required attention. Otherwise a small crack could turn into a big problem. Decks were built the same way except they put thosands og little holes in the glass (to install teak decks). Brightwork isn't a problem. Wife does that! ha ha.... We painted brows, doors, and a few other pieces of wood... Improved looks of the boat in general, made it look more like the latter years.
