Bottom paint & last preparations for launching

May 13, 2020 by Lukasz Kumanowski

I keep using Hempel Mile Light, it gave me very little fouling last two seasons so I stick to it this year, too.

Taping, painting and then cleaning afterwards took me 2 hours.

I attended few other small jobs, one of them was adding rubber seals on front hatch - something I kept forgetting since long.

This hatch is made to be resistant to rain water - having channels on sides to remove it - but upon splashes with big amount of water on deck it allows some inside, causing unwanted shower in fo’c’s’le.

With seals in place closed hatch is tight.

Before I decide fate of cockpit hatch - it got a seal, too.

So we are ready for launch!
