What this video covers
The owners of a Beneteau Oceanis 50, currently based in Scarborough, Australia, have canceled a planned haul-out in Bundaberg to perform bottom maintenance locally.7:21 After receiving quotes for a full sandblasting and removal of their existing Coppercoat, they opted to retain the hard, two-part epoxy coating.7:58 Instead, they will sand the existing surface and apply two coats of primer followed by three coats of Jotun self-polishing antifouling paint.11:32 This decision reduces the projected cost from approximately $25,000 to $7,500.11:38 The choice of Jotun paint aims to ensure product availability for future maintenance in Southeast Asia.12:05 Additionally, the crew completed a mandatory $2,000 service for their life raft, which required shipping the unit to Melbourne due to a lack of local service providers in the Brisbane region.18:26 The owners also performed a DIY repair on their microwave, securing it with custom-fabricated steel brackets and heat-shrink tubing to prevent movement during heavy seas.3:32
