So I have to re-open this project, the floor are going to get its second and third layer of varnish. This is done at my work, we have a really nice working area for this purpose

Inserting a couple of pictures when they have go their second layer, when this is dry I ill sand paper them and then the third layer is coming, I am using Beckers Båtfernissa Extra Glossy
I will grind these again with water and Abralon 1000 grade in the spring.

Okay, these are not part of the floor but they still got varnished

Yesturday I curiously started to un-screw and lift some of the floor-panels.
My early opinion about this "upgrade" was that it would be a very tough job since I thought that most of the interior was standing ontop of it. But to my surprise only the floor-panel most to the port below the cabin-table was obstructed by the interior.
So after 10 minutes I have removed three large and two small floor-panels. Only one larger floor-panel remaining. I think that I have to lift the mast in order to be able to "slide" this remaining floor-panel out of its slot. Sliding it to the right.
The floor-panel is made of a 1.5 cm thick and 240 cm long material teak/koto fanér. Buying this material is probably best/sheapest at erlandson-trade, one 242x122 cm panel will cost 2238 SEK ( 325 USD).

I will today continue the work (cleaning the area and see about the remaining floor-panel) and take a number of pics.

And here are some pics of the "beauty".

Today I really got things going, replacing the floor was more fun that I could imagine. Here are some pics.
When all is done I will paint the varnish.

Maybe you can see the all new floor installed in the forward perth, its great fun.

In order to install the port floor-panel I have to lift the mast 3-4 feet.

And some more pics...
There are some varnish that floated from the backside. Still to do is to sandpaper with a 320-400 paper (x-fine) and applicate some 3-4 layers of varnish.

Bye the way, I have decided to polish the floor nexte spring and apply a last layer of varnisch then. At the moment I havent done any sandpapering. This because I dont want to empty the boat.
