Ce que couvre cette vidéo

The crew of a Prout Ltd. Snowgoose 37 Elite hauls out at Ross Haven Marine in Townsville to remove old antifouling paint in preparation for a DIY Coppercoat application.0:32 Because Coppercoat requires a clean surface of gel coat or barrier coat to adhere, the team spends six days manually scraping and sanding the entire hull.3:35 The process proves physically exhausting and leads to severe skin irritation and rashes from contact with antifouling dust.9:34 To mitigate exposure to both the dust and local sandflies, the crew adopts protective boiler suits and paper suits.10:28 During the haul-out, they also replace a rotten wooden transducer block with a new composite material provided by the yard manager and install a new depth sounder transducer.11:41 The rudders remain unstripped due to the time and cost of removal, leaving them with old antifouling.17:19 The project concludes after six days of labor, with the hull prepped for the final coating application.17:50
