I’ve owned a DS 2 Manufactured January 1974 by O’Day, sail number 8954, for the last 3 years and have decided to refinish both the deck and hull over the Winter. I’d previously noted a raised line under the paint just about 3” below and parallel to the hull/deck joint. I started sanding and this appears to be a strip of metal trim about 1/2” wide that I have not seen on other DS2s. Is this typical? Is it just decorative? I’m not interested in exposing it, so should I consider removing it or just fair it out?
