You have already gotten a lot of responses, so I apologize if
this is redundant. On my 34 I used Baltoplate and am about to return to that
for my 42. My routine will be as Dennis described.
When I bought the 42 about eight years ago, it needed a

Yes, but has to be dustless. They have some real high end screen sanders that
we can rent.

Ed,
I switched to Sea Hawk CuKote. My painter recommended it. But remember,
he's in Pensacola (salt water) and Touche' is now back in Mandeville
(brackish for the list).

Within the hour my C 34 was hauled after 2 years since the last. Heavy
slime only on Petit Trinidad. Brackish water. Petit wants the boatyard
owner to use its "new" paints but the owner doesn't want to apply paints
that do not have at least 2 years experience in use.

Hi Charlie:
When I purchased my boat in 2008, I had the yard strip the bottom and apply a
hard bottom paint. The second year I applied Petit Vivid and pretty much
followed the process you described. This is the method the Petit
representative recommended: First, I cleaned the bottom and

Charlie, I'm thinking that sanding an ablative paint is a waste of effort.
Since the surface is constantly being refreshed, the smooth surface that
you create by sanding is gone in a short time frame. If you want a super
smooth bottom I would think that it would be better to use a hard,
Me too it was first time taking off ablative paint
It sucks but it looks nice
I put magic anti fouling the application was easy, two people is better to
get a smooth finish
Sv Delos and sailing zatara tryed it they say it an amazing product and
gained half a knot on boat speed

Yes—at least some do. OTOH I did that once, took about 4+ 8 hr days with a
sander above my head and all the protective breathing gear on.
Swore then that I would “...nevahh...”Attempt that again. Same feeling after my
first and last water skiing success—once was enough!!

Charlie,
Up until this last year I kept a burnished Baltoplate racing bottom on
Touche'. Here's the breakdown of the cost in 2018
Prep and spray $1512 (36 hrs @ $42/hr)
Baltoplate and thinner $540
Wet sand and burnish $220 (4 hrs @ $55/hr)
Total (x-taxes and haul out fees)
does your yard allow owners to sand their own bottoms?
