I used Soy Strip on my 27. Multiple applications for multiple layers
(10-plus) of anti-foul. Messy!! But I could not fathom sanding that all
off! There was still quite a bit of sanding after and then barrier coat.
That, along with all new through hulls, fix about a dozen blisters, pull
shaft, new
Two things I don't do: replace a shingle roof and a bottom job. Gladly pay
someone else to do those.

Hi Chris, I would consider a soda blasting job on my boat, also in Vancouver.
If you find someone to do it let me know as I, too, am tired of sanding. I
would only consider doing the bottom in the spring while hoping for dry
weather.

Interesting discussion. I've sanded the bottom of my 35-1 every year
for the past 8 years, probably has 40 yrs of old bottom paint on it some
of which still lifts up after sanding it smooth when I put the new paint
on. I've got all the gear, full face mask and suit, can do the whole
bottom
I stripped the bottom of my 35-3 several years ago. Started (and gave up
quickly) with sanders. Went with a chemical peel which worked really well, but
very messy. Had money been no object would have gone with soda or dry ice
stripping.

A few suggestions:
Have a look at a similar sized boat on the hard and contemplate holding a
sander (~5-6 inches in diameter) above your head while you move it along the
bottom while moving a chair to sit on or doing it standing or kneeling.
Remember that you must not poison yourself with the
Chris,
They say a good soda-blasting should be done every ten to fifteen years, which
would then require a new barrier coating and all new bottom paint — That ran me
around $2,500 a few years ago.
That being said, there are plenty of boat owners who never do it at all. If you
just have some
This is a two part query about doing the bottom of a sailboat by a first-timer.
The high pressure spray that removed the previous saltwater growth of 1.5 years
(during the survey in July) also removed part of the protective coat of
anti-fouling that was left. I thought I would get around to
Try tracing the hole pattern on a piece of paper and going to West
Marine and seeing what cleats fit the pattern.

For what it is worth, Practical Sailor has a low opinion of stainless steel

Beware there are different ratings of shackles despite the same size. As I
recall a class 'B' is a higher rating. For a 3/8ths shackle the load
