Day 263 of renovating our Sailing Living Quarter has been dedicated to putting prop speed onto Kel Patu. This task marks one of our final maintenance projects, essential in getting her ready for water.
SBO Prop Speed Application – Final Touches
The Sailing Catalpa crew have thoroughly enjoyed having prop speed on our previous sailboat and knew we wanted to replicate the results on Kel Patu. Following Dad’s advice, ‘the art of decoration is preparation’, we begin with a crucial cleaning phase.
Clean Shaft & Propeller
The first step to successfully applying prop speed is making sure that both the shaft and prop are clean. This involves thoroughly scrubbing these vital components to remove any buildup or grime, providing a perfect base for the application.
Prop Speed Application Process
After the shaft and prop are squeaky clean, it’s time to apply rolled on two easy coats of yellow prop speed. Once these initial layers are dried and cured, we follow up with a layer of clear varnish she stuff, sealing our work in place.
Benefits of Prop Speed
The application of prop speed is not only easy and quick but offers significant benefits in maintaining your vessel. By preventing the buildup of marine growth, this process saves us time and energy from constant cleaning efforts. Additionally, any growth that does occur can be effortlessly wiped off.
The Final Day
With the successful completion of this final task on Kel Patu, we find ourselves closer than ever to putting her back in the water. The crew at Sailing Catalpa expresses gratitude towards prop speed for simplifying boat maintenance and enhancing sailing experiences.
A New Beginning
Each day in the boatyard has brought us one step closer to reliving our dream of ocean sailing adventures. This remarkable transformation and care put into Kel Patu ensures that we can enjoy stress-free boating sessions while keeping marine growth at bay.
Join Us in the Journey
Have you tried prop speed on your boat yet? We encourage our fellow sailors and adventurers to consider this fantastic product for their boats, promising a hassle-free sailing experience. Don’t forget to keep up with Sailing Catalpa’s journey as we navigate through our boat’s renovation process towards the open waters again.
