What this video covers
The owners of a Beneteau Oceanis 50, currently based in Scarborough, Australia, have canceled a planned haul-out in Bundaberg to perform bottom maintenance locally.▶ 11:57 After receiving quotes for a full sandblasting and removal of their existing Coppercoat, they opted to retain the hard, two-part epoxy coating.▶ 7:20 Instead, they will sand the existing surface and apply two coats of primer followed by three coats of Jotun self-polishing antifouling paint.▶ 11:34 This decision reduces the projected cost from approximately $25,000 to $7,500.▶ 11:40 The choice of Jotun paint aims to ensure product availability for future maintenance in Southeast Asia.▶ 12:07 Additionally, the crew completed a mandatory $2,000 service for their life raft, which required shipping the unit to Melbourne due to a lack of local service providers in the Brisbane region.▶ 19:30 The owners also performed a DIY repair on their microwave, securing it with custom-fabricated steel brackets and heat-shrink tubing to prevent movement during heavy seas.▶ 3:32
