[C320-list] Bottom Paint for Dana Point

[bruceheyman at cox.net]

Pete,
Somerset is on the trailer and on it's way here.  I bought three gallons but was able to get two coats and a third on all the leading edges and water line out of two gallons.  I sent my silver tounged dad back to We$t Marine to swap out the gallon for a quart putting the ballance on my credit card.  Thankfully he was successful.  I used about a quater of the quart to take care of where the jack stands were.  Now I have enough paint left to repair the total hack job the yard did with the straps when they put the boat on the trailer.  

What roller did you use?  I use the 9 inch really thin yellow ones from We$t.  I saw they had some thicker ones, I wonder if they would put on a thicker layer?

Just finished the bottom painting on AROBAN. I previously told you I usually use 1 1/2 to 2 gallons of Petit Trinidad SR. Used almost 2 1/2 gallons this time. No apparent reason other than the Trinidad SR paint seemed 'thicker' and harder to mix than in the past. Instructions advise against thinning. I expect to get two years service before re-paint.

Bruce ..... I just had my cutlass bearing replaced while the boat is out of the water for a new bottom job. If there's play, you may want to have it done now since you may not otherwise need to haul again for a couple of years. My yard used a neat hydraulic device that did not require removal of the prop shaft.

Bruce ...... I usually do the wet sanding the day following the last coat of Trinidad SR and spend maybe an hour at the most going over the hull lightly. Don't want to rub off too much of that expensive paint!

  Peter,
  How long do you let the paint cure before you sand with 220?
  Thanks,

  Petit Trinidad SR is the bottom paint of choice here in South Florida with
  our extreme fouling conditions and warm waters. I've used Trinidad and
  Trinidad SR several times and usually get about two years between bottom
  jobs.  I apply two coats to the bottom and a third coat at the water line
  and leading edges of the bow, rudder and keel. I've consistently used
  between 1 1/2 to 2 gallons. West Marine gets $ 220/gal but I buy it at the
  local boatyard for $ 185/gal. Since we also race, I go lightly over the
  newly painted  bottom with 220 grit wet sandpaper. This probably nets me a
  whole 1/100 of a knot but I often see the really serious local racers doing
  this to their boats. Good luck!

    Gary,
    We are in Slip J25 on the Island side.  I didn't get a quote from Dana
  Point
    Ship Yard but I know We$T Marine get's $220 per gallon and as near as I
  can
    tell it takes about two gallons per coat.
    We are members of DWYC; it would be great if we could meet up for dinner
    and/or drinks when we get back to CA, 949-289-8400.
    Best,
    Bruce

    Hello Bruce,

    We keep our boat in Dana Point also.  Our dealer (in Marina del Rey) put 
    on Pettit Trinidad when our boat was new, back in Nov-2002.  We're still 
    on the original paint but my guess is were getting close to needing 
    new.  I'm not sure if they used the Trinidad 'SR' or some other version; 
    sorry I don't have that info.  Have you considered waiting to paint 
    until the boat is here?  Something comes to mind in that you want to 
    splash the boat without leaving the paint exposed to air too long.  From 
    what I'm hearing from my dock neighbors, a bottom paint job will run 
    about $1000 at Dana.

    Have you got a slip yet?  If you need any suggestions for service 
    providers (diver, riggers, canvas, etc) just drop me a note.

    Good Luck on your move and hope to hear from you once you're here.

    PS, I have a great photo of Dana Point from the air with Catalina Island 
    in the background.  If you'd like a digital copy, let me know and I'll 
    email it to you directly.

    appreciated?  We race a few times a year but like to sail fast even when
    cruising and have the bottom cleaned by a diver monthly.
