I used to have the same blue topsides and it got that same frosty look. I got tired of trying to keep it polished. Nothing I did ever seemed to last very long. I finally hauled my boat over to Stan and had him paint it using an Awlgrip type epoxy. The finish is hard as nails and will not fade. I don't even have to wax it anymore.

I've got an '88 R22 refurbished in '98 I think, it must have been because I've never seen such a dry centerboard trunk. But the topsides ( blue ) have faded with that "frosty" look. My plan is to sand the topsides with 2000 grit wet sandpaper and then top it with a cleaner/ polish. 2000 grit somewhere between newspaper and tooth paste. Has anyone tried this? Is there a better way to get a shine other than painting? Comments?

Hey, all of you Upper Chesapeake Bay sailors:
Tell me which bottom paint you think works best in the environment in the bay. ?I expect to repaint every season. ?I don't know what paint Stan's people put on my boat when I got it last year. ?I am out of the water until May. When should I paint? ?Two coats?... Three? ?And how do I paint under the bunks and on the keel center board and rudder? ?That'll do for now. ?Thanks.

Depends if you want ablative or hard paint. The Petit SR ia a hard paint and if you are going to repaint every season then in a few years you might have to get all the multiple layers of paint stripped (sandblasted) off. Ablative paint is good for salt water environments because it sloughs off over time and you can get a diver to clean it every few months and you likely would not have to repaint every year. The big difference is that ablative paints do not build up in multiple layers. Ablatives are also preferred (from what I have read) for trailerable boats. The higher the copper content the better, IMO...

Joe, Jack up the trailer with the boat on it. I used a Sears floor jack and
stands. Then prop up the boat with boat stands (West Marine is where I
bought mine from). Then lower the trailer. Cover the bunks with plastic
painters drop cloth. Then when dry jack the trailor up again and remove
the stands. Lower the trailor and the boat. I did it in the spring juist
before launch. Michigan was so cold this year that the paint did not dry
properly. As a first time bottem painter I didn't know what the paint
should look like when it is dry. The bottem coat of paint wasn't completely
"flat" and therefore stuck to the bunks. Should have left the plastic on
the bunks. It's a quarter mile to my launch. See "glued to trailor", in
the archive. I don't know how to generate a link to that thread. Ken

Joe,
Here are some photos that Slim posted some time ago of Fandango being painted (2007 Slim!). I recall a post where someone recommended chaining or tying the aft jack stands together to keep them from spreading apart since they supporting the weight at an angle. There are other methods to raise and support the boat, but photos always help. - rob

Rob & all,
Looks as if I'm right in line w/the storm...I'm on a protected creek off the Potomac, but the storm most likely will push water up the Bay....the water backs up in the creeks...for Isabel, the water obscured even the tops of the dock pilings. My boat is OK as long as the water doesn't rise past the level of the dock (about 3 feet over high tide or so...)
I'm thinking of anchoring the boat out in the creek...but am unsure ...two anchors? set at 45deg??? Even if it goes aground it is only soft mud.....
Suggestions, please..

Elle,
Check Boat/US website on hurricane prep. I haven't looked at it this
year but there used to be lots of resources.
Probably a lot depends on whether you expect wind or water or both.
We're watching this one too. In 2003, we expected wind for Isabel. We
pulled the boat, lowered the mast (because of the issue of securing
the IMF sail and the General Boats style jib furler). Stored the boat
on a high spot in the boat yard, removed the bimini and discovered it
would fit in the cabin and hoped for the best. We didn't get wind
but we got the 8 foot surge much like what they got in Annapolis but
not much in the way of waves like they got further south. Water came
up to the hubs on the tires. If it had come up much higher boat and
trailer would have been floating. Fortunately that next foot is even
less likely.
If I was thinking about anchoring in a creek, I'd want to be very
sure of the holding ground, perhaps supplement anchors with lines to
shore and look upstream thinking about debris coming down. Were you
there during Isabel? If not (and maybe even if so), talk to your
neighbors and your marina about what happened during Isabel. Does
anyone in the area have good secure moorings?
Best of luck

I like 2 anchors @ 45 to 90 degrees. Or put it on the trailer & take
it home.
I will trust my new mooring & dual pennants.

Elle & all,
If in the direct path of a major storm or hurricane, I always haul and EARLY! Once on land (high ground, well above the anticipated storm tide), secure the trailer to the ground (or other stationary object, not the car) and secure the boat to the trailer (straps). This is very important because a boat on land is more easily damaged if not tied down than if you left it in the water.
"A study by MIT after hurricane Gloria found that boats stored ashore were far more likely to be saved than boats stored in the water. For many boat owners and marinas, hauling boats is the foundation of their hurricane plan. (from http://www.boatus.com/hurricanes/brochure.asp)"
If you cannot haul the boat, DO NOT STAY ABOARD DURING THE STORM. Set spring lines for storm surge (15' sometimes), if possible, or moor the boat on a HEAVY ANCHOR (mushroom type for soft bottom areas, mine is 250 lbs for the R22). Even two lightweight anchors on long lines may pull out, in which case, they will snag on other anchors in the area as the boat is blow about and bangs into the other craft.
No matter what you do, remove as many valuable items as is reasonable in case the boat is lost or severely damaged. Tie all remaining items down to prevent damage if the boat is subjected to high winds. Remove all cloth and store safely - sails unfurled in high winds will move the boat (even on a trailer) and cause additional damage until they are shredded.

Rob & all,
Looks as if I'm right in line w/the storm...I'm on a protected creek off the Potomac, but the storm most likely will push water up the Bay....the water backs up in the creeks...for Isabel, the water obscured even the tops of the dock pilings. My boat is OK as long as the water doesn't rise past the level of the dock (about 3 feet over high tide or so...)
I'm thinking of anchoring the boat out in the creek...but am unsure ...two anchors? set at 45deg??? Even if it goes aground it is only soft mud.....
Suggestions, please..
