ANTIFOULING: Who would put hard paint on top of soft paint?! #3

6 weeks to departure!
I knew that becoming a sailboat owner meant that at some point, I would end up with a sanding machine in my hands and a valved safety mask on my face, doing something that I was probably not going to enjoy.
In this episode, Ryan and I are getting our sailboat ready for our voyage. Last year, we had the hull repainted, and the guy we had hired for the job put some hard paint on top of the soft paint. This resulted in the antifouling flaking off completely. We had to scrape the bad paint off and sand the entire hull of the boat in order to repaint
Our sailboat is a Beneteau Oceanis 40, and the hull is quite a surface to take care off.
Scraping and sanding it bare took us three days (total 35-40 man hours). A good friend came and gave us a hand one day, which helped tremendously. It saved us a lot of money, but we are hiring someone (that we trust and regard highly!) to take care of the painting.
We are putting 3 layers of new epoxy (International GelShield 200) and 2 layers of hard paint.
Hopefully, Polar Seal’s hull will be totally barnacle-proof as we hit the Atlantic Ocean and the West coast of Europe this summer!
