Varnish on Wood panels 805 Leader

[cisne]

Hi, I just bought a Jeanneau Leader 805 2005 in a very good condition. I have got a small ( around 10 mm) damage on one of the wooden panels along the cockpit sides. I need some advice :

1. Anyone knows which type of varnish Jeanneau used for these Wood panels?
2. What kind of Maintenance do you rekommenderas for these panels, eg light sanding + varnishing every year (How many layers)?
3. For the small damage where the bare Wood is visable, would you apply a Wood oil before varnishing, or Varnish directly on the bare Wood?

Thanks a lot for input.

best regards

Cisne

we had the same problem on our 805, here's a link to a quick video of what we did, I used ronseal yacht varnish and it's held up well after 2 years
