What this video covers

A 6.5-foot draft aluminum sailboat undergoes a haul-out for a bottom job, including sanding, barrier coating, and applying six layers of copper-free antifouling paint.0:31 The crew uses TotalBoat products, specifically selecting copper-free paint to prevent galvanic corrosion on the aluminum hull.8:22 During the process, they discover a pinhole leak in a previous weld on the keel, which they seal with aluminum epoxy.13:32 They also identify and repair improper through-hull penetrations where previous anode mounting screws had been drilled directly into the hull.16:41 The crew replaces a transducer housing damaged during barnacle removal and polishes the propeller and shaft.1:21 To ensure proper coverage, the boat is lifted back into the slings after the initial painting to reach the areas previously covered by the support stands.12:34 The project concludes with the application of barrier coat and antifouling to these final spots, preparing the vessel for future high-latitude sailing.
