The crew of Escapade prepares their vessel for relaunch by applying three coats of International Yacht Paint Micron 350 in black.0:36 The process begins with sanding the hull using an orbital sander to remove barnacles and create a smooth surface.0:56 Repairs include filling holes from old bow thruster grates and applying Sikaflex to the keel crease.5:55 Because lead keels oxidize rapidly, the crew uses a steel brush to clean the metal immediately before applying primer.3:01 To improve efficiency during application, they construct custom roller extensions using broomsticks and stainless steel fittings.4:53 After applying the first coat, they wait 24 hours before adding two additional layers to ensure 24 months of protection.8:30 Before the final launch, they pressure wash the deck to prevent drip lines on the fresh paint and touch up the spots under the keel pads once the boat is lifted.6:01 A clean hull significantly improves boat speed and performance on long passages.10:39
