Hey, my name is Nike and I bought an aluminum 37 foot sailboat in Panama in 2013 that I named KARL. I spent a good year refitting it, mostly by myself and with the help of awesome friends, and then (mostly) solo sailed my sailboat around the western Caribbean.
In 2016, I crossed the Panama Canal, had a major engine break down, a near sinking experience and a serious foot injury which got me stuck along the Pacific coast of Central and South America.
In this Episode, we prep the hull of my Reinke Super 10 to renew my bottom paint. The current covid19 situation makes it tricky to go into a marina, so I take advantage of my twin keels and a strong moon tide to let my boat dry fall to get the bottom job done.
First we scrape off Karl’s massive beard and then we grind away all the left over barnacle feet with 80 grit grinding discs.
Since we only have a very limited time window to paint a layer of epoxy primer and antifouling between the tides and rain showers, I do a little trial run to see whether the pint holds up with 7 hours of curing instead of 12.
This procedure is NOT recommended by Total Boat, so don’t try this at home!!!
Enjoy and Ahoy,
Nike & Karl
