Happy belated Independence Day, Tim. The bottom looks great. As to the issue of running your cables through the tubing: I would not be overly concerned about drilling small, round holes in the tubes, so long as they are not at any stress points and are at least one pipe diameter from any weld or joint. The flip side of trying to avoid holes is that any other way you support cabling also presents an opportunity for corrosion or other ways the tubing can be weakened. Also, while a boarding light is probably not a critical system, the wiring for the panels and anything else you mount up there will be less vulnerable to damage if run inside the tubes vs. externally. Like everything, its a trade-off that requires careful consideration. Bear in mind I am not an ME and it's been a very long time since my mandatory year of it in engineering school. --Sean on Vector.
Being a guy who fixes stuff I agree with you on running the wiring on the outside of the rear arch tubing, the strength of that arch is pretty important with expensive things hanging off of it. Drilling into the tubing would not only weaken it but it will allow moisture to enter the tubing and probably hold water in its low spots leading to internal corrosion. Wiring on the outside allows for much easier serviceability and repairability. Only thing I can add is to be sure the wires are carefully routed and protected from pinch point such as the dingy swinging while being winched up and smacking the arch and pinching a wire or 3... The exterior condition of your hull is amazing, it looks like a 5 year old boat, you did good when you searched and found this gem! Stay safe and dry my brother, smooth seas and fair winds! #CUOTO
Happy 4th Tim. No doubt about it that's looking sweet and like you say "If done right" It'll be worth it. I can't imagine not having to redo a bottom for at least 10 years especially seeing how much it costs these days.
Thank you very much for watching Robert. They way we should get at least 10 years, then a sandung again and another possible 5 to 10 more years with the freshly exposed copper. CUOTO
I watched the entire saga of Sailing Britican and their copper coat. It seems that the application is super specific, but if done right - it's a great product.
Very Nice boat. But Tim, a few wrinkles in the anti-foul isn’t going to slow her down that much. It is an Island Packet not a Sabre 42. What you really need is someone that is in the Navy, Marines, Coast Guard that can get their hands on the anti-foul that they use. It will outlast the hull. Not quite aquatic friendly but your only covering 45 feet not 450 - 900 feet like they do.
Capt Tim, was this a recommendation? I use Pettit paint exclusively! Their Pettit Protect barrier coat works great! Their Water Based bottom paints of HydroCoat are great. For the more tropical waters, their Trinidad is a high copper load. The time frame is not nearly as long, nor is it as toxic…
Thank you for watching Roger. So traditional bottom antifouling usually comes in two flavors. Had or ablative. Copper Coat is something very different. Because it doesn't ablate, it is the most environmentally safe bottom paint available and has won award after award. If done correctly, it should last for at least ten years and can be reactivated and go another 5 or more years. But if not done correctly, it is a colosil waste of money. CUOTO
Beautiful job, thanks for sharing all the information on the copper coating. Rather than waste the excess couldn't you have sealed the bottom of the dinghy?
Thank you for watching. I actually asked the Copper Coat people about that thinking that the dissimilar metals (cooper and aluminum) might be a problem. They that wasn't the problem because the copper was encapsulated. They said the problem was that the aluminum hull was powder coated and they had not had luck getting copper coat to stick to it. CUOTO
You could drill a hole in the bottom of one of the base plates in the arch that’s holding it to the boat and run a snake through the base up to where you would like to come out on the top of the arch to run your power you’d have to determine which base plate would be best to run this through as to get to where you would like to end up At the same time, you should run a Painter through the tubing so you could add something later if you wish
Island Packet builds a nice boat. I live right around the corner from them and if the wind is blowing right i can smel when they are laying up a hull. Ive been there plenty of times to install seafrost refrigeration and kohler generators.
If I missed in the video I apologize, but I was just wondering how much weight the copper coat would add and how will it affect the boat overall? I agree function over fashion, don't drill the holes.
Thank you for watching. I think in total we added 16 kits each with 2 kilos of copper, so about 70 lbs before I sanded. But Paquita is a displacement boar coming in at 30,000lbs before fuel and water and cruising fear. So a few pounds of copper will go unnoticed. CUOTO
Wow never seen that anti foul system, so the copper is suspended in the epoxy. It’s not an ablative coating which I’m used to working with. I’m assuming the epoxy system is for less “drag” being you are a sailing vessel. Ablative anti foul works on the premise of drag and it prevents growth. Interesting system, interested in the longevity.
Thank you for watching. The way I understand it is that ablative coatings scarf off not giving a good surface for barnacles and corals to attach. Copper Coat is a "Hard" bottom paint meaning it is not designed to wear away. But the exposed copper does not allow things to grow on it. (Biocide) CUOTO
Thank you for watching. I was going to run the wires without conduit on the backside of the Arch. They are rated to be in the sun on your roof, so why not on the boat? Cleaned up with wire ties obviously. CUOTO
I guess it must be. It has won a bunch of environmental awards for being the most environmentally safe bottom pain on the market. Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
It's Not me! I never block anyone. UA-cam has been up to so strange stuff lately. Many people are not getting notifications or are being unsubscribed as well. Thank you for watching. I hope they get it figured out soon. Hang in there. CUOTO
WOW 4 grand for paint sounds like a lot... However only doing it every 10 to 15 years probably makes it the cheapest bottom paint you ever bought by far. I am going to take this into serious consideration for the next bottom on my little Island Packet.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. Just be aware that there are many horror stories of it not working, although I believe each one came down to improper installation. I just hope I have done it right. CUOTO
Ypur thruster is not faired properly. Look up the catalina 470's. I did 99% of them as a company that specialises in that kinda stuff. Not one failure in 25 years but i have repaired plenty that were installed by the dealer.
just found ya. 35 yrs of bosts. mystic to old saybrook. and lots of essex ct. great memories. petipauck sailing school 1966. thanks tim b well!!!
Great to have you on the Channel David! CUOTO

Hello Tim happy 4th of july and
" VIVE LA FAYETTE " . you did a magnificent cosmetic job on paquita , perhaps a return to the water soon captain ? 🗽🗼
Thank you very much Denis. I hope by the next week. I have to activate the copper coat (sandind) and have about 25 percent done so far. CUOTO
Hey Tim, you should’ve had your vagrant helping with this 👍🏻😂
Looking Great!!!

You could drill a hole in the bottom of one of the base plates in the arch that’s holding it to the boat and run a snake through the base up to where you would like to come out on the top of the arch to run your power you’d have to determine which base plate would be best to run this through as to get to where you would like to end up
At the same time, you should run a Painter through the tubing so you could add something later if you wish
You could also use a vacuum to suck a piece of braided fish line with a cotton ball tied to the end he will set right up out of the hole at the top

Great video and fantastic job. I've always been curious...what is the process for applying the product under the supports?
Thank you for watching Chris. I think part 2 will go over that and a few other things. Stand by. CUOTO
I would just run the wires through some PVC conduit and clamp it or wire tie it to the arch.
Thank you for watching Mark. CUOTO

Happy fourth! Great looking paint job. What is the life expectancy, considering the cost? Thank you for your time and effort
Hey Capt Tim hope Paquita is treating you well. CUOTO
Happy 4th! Thank you for watching. She is! CUOTO
Have you considered clamping 3/4 inch or 1/2 inch metal or plastic conduit to the outside of the existing tubing and run your wires through that ?
Thank you for watching. I was going to run the wires without conduit on the backside of the Arch. They are rated to be in the sun on your roof, so why not on the boat? Cleaned up with wire ties obviously. CUOTO
@@svpaquita That'll work , I was just thinking the less exposure to the elements the better.
Thank you for the invite to this channel from TimBatSea channel.
Welcome aboard! Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Great job! Copper ablative is not available, but copper impregnated epoxy is the answer?
I guess it must be. It has won a bunch of environmental awards for being the most environmentally safe bottom pain on the market. Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO

No, she was just getting ready to work. 😂 Thank you for watching. CUOTO
They invented zip ties to run wires along side a pipe.
Right? ! 😂 Thank you very much for watching John. CUOTO

If the tower was not made to accommodate wires, it sucks. If its built that way, go for it.
