Cosa tratta questo video

The owners of the 56-foot yacht Britican struggled with repeated failures of Coppercoat antifouling paint over several years and multiple professional applications in the United States, Trinidad, and Antigua.0:05 Initial applications at Bennett Brothers in North Carolina and Peaks in Trinidad resulted in heavy barnacle growth, which the owners attributed to improper surface preparation and application techniques by the boatyards.0:29 After multiple failed attempts and costly haul-outs, Coppercoat UK sent a representative, Jason, to Grenada to oversee a final application.4:45 The process involved sanding the hull back to a sound substrate, removing all verdigris, and applying five coats of the product under strict supervision.6:05 Following three months of inactivity in a Grenada marina, the hull remained largely free of barnacles, with minimal growth easily wiped away.8:19 The owners report a half-knot increase in sailing speed and conclude that the product's effectiveness depends entirely on precise application and constant owner supervision of the boatyard crew.9:08
