[Rhodes22-list] A Special Full Moon

[Graham Stewart]

Alex: 

The work on the bottom I described is a once-in-lifetime project made
necessary by 40 years of annual bottom paint and the development of
extensive blistering in the gel coat. My normal routine is exactly as you
describe. 

When I say "lifetime", I am referring to my lifetime. I think the boat can
last forever. Even in another 40 years I probably won't be interested in
doing the work again.

I kept my boat in the water (Deltaville, VA) for 8 months this year and just
hauled out a couple of weeks ago. The paint was VC17, which is an ablative
paint. All it takes is cleaning with a hose, lightly sanding then a fresh
coat of paint!

Graham, thanks for the detailed explanation and photos. It sounds like the
strip and repair was a major project! I'll have to see how the bottom of my
boat looks after the first season in a slip and determine next steps from
there.

I see from the photos that you built a frame in your driveway to support
your boat while you worked on the bottom. How did you get your boat up onto
that?
