Copper bottomed

C day arrived and thanks to Owen, Dean and Aga the hull of Seascape was coated multiple times with Coppercoat resulting in a shiny, smooth bottom that truly looks the part and demonstrated a great stride forwards
A lotta Coppa
 
2 coats in
3 coats in
And finally after 5 coats a lovely job

Check the colour
In the meantime it is time to start planning for replacing the hull striping and the coving line. We determined that the current colour of the blue line is RAL 5011 which is Steel Blue So quotations are requested for the wrap to be done in vinyl. Tick, tick, tick......
Now just to spend a few days curing as the water based epoxy needs to harden before the hull is "shuffled" that is moved on the cradle so that the supportive patches can be painted to complete the job. In the meantime a bit of top sides cutting back will commence and next week the mast is going back on   hooray!
