Getting rid of chalky gelcoat
November 09, 2023 by Sailing Fair Isle | Language: EN Play Time: 00:13:40 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Regular viewers will have seen us battle to keep our dark green gel coat on Fair Isle looking goos over the years.
We’ve tried all sorts or restoration methods and protective coatings like top end nano technology ceramic coatings.
We actually thought our gel coat was now beyond help and we may have to paint, a very expensive option! But you’ld be amazed what can be done with the right equipment and a bit of hard work.
This video will take you through the step by step process to get your gel coat looking like new.

Sailing Fair Isle
We have sold our house in the UK and moved aboard our boat. She is a classic cutter rigged 48 foot Hans Christian; a very strong blue water boat more than capable of sailing around the world. Just hope we are! We are professional documentary filmmakers working for the BBC and many other TV stations around the world. Broadcasters aren't interested in commissioning sailing programs these days so we are launching our channel online. Sailing Fair Isle is aiming to be more than just a vlog showing our travels. It will be a travel log, but also a documentary style show with proper content and broadcast technical standards. That's the plan anyway. Lets see how it goes.
