What this video covers

The owners of a Cape George Cutter 36 apply Coppercoat anti-fouling to their hull in preparation for an upcoming launch.0:20 They apply seven coats of the epoxy-copper mixture in a single session to ensure proper chemical bonding, noting that the finish appears uneven during the initial layers.11:54 The process requires abrading the cured surface to expose the copper particles, a step the owners perform carefully to avoid sanding through the epoxy.11:54 Following the hull work, the crew acquires new ground tackle from a warehouse in Delta, British Columbia, consisting of a 25-kilogram Vulcan anchor and 400 feet of 3/8-inch galvanized Titan chain.19:29 Because the boat’s bowsprit configuration precludes the use of roll-bar style anchors, they select the Vulcan for its roll-bar-free design.22:47 The crew plans to install this gear once they source a replacement handle for the boat's windlass and finalize the layout of their redesigned anchor locker.20:12
