[Rhodes22-list] A Special Full Moon

[Alexis Seigneurin]

Oh, yes, Graham, I certainly didn’t mean to say what you went through was not worth it. I guess it just depends on the condition of the boat and the work that needs to be done.

Your setup to lift the boat is seriously impressive. I’d be scared to go through such a large project myself!

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?
