How to stay married during a boat refit | Boat Refit Documentary Part 5
Our latest real-time Vlog covers the accidental painting of our cockpit 🤪 It's accidental because it wasn't part of the original refit plan, but well, like everything else so far, we discovered parts of what we'd already worked on internally were of course connected to parts of the co...
⚠️ Painting in Progress ⚠️
This three-minute video doesn't really do justice to the phenomenal amount of work that's gone into re-painting our cockpit. Every process you see here is filmed just once, but in reality it takes place multiple times. Over the last few weeks we've done: ✔️ Multiple coats of two-pa...

Here we go! We've taped off sections of the deck and are working together to roll the awlgrip paint and scatter the GripTex coarse particles on the wet paint. So far so good...!
Atticus Update 27: Priming the Turtle Hatch
Spraying the second coat of Awlgrip 545 primer to our custom made Turtle Hatch. The first coat was mixed with 40% reducer to allow for the primer to soak into the pores of the wood. This coat was reduced 20% to allow for a relatively smooth finish and ultimately less sanding around the inner frame.
