    Plan B is probably a bit less nerve-racking than Plan A, too.

    I was so excited to see SibLim when the hull was turned over.  It is really worth getting her outside just for that!!

    Jeps Annie. Very happy. 

    Plan A of turning her around hanging from the beams in the shed is not happening due to lack of space, so plan B is set in motion. I’ll take the shed down, turnover with the professionals and put the shed back in place. 

    The good part is that I get to see my work from a distance. 

    Soon.

    Personally I was not very happy to see the less than great results when the boat was left unattended for 10 months.

    Makes me question if it would last for the claimed 10 years if one were, as I hope to be, a yearly rather than full time cruiser.
    From what was said, maybe put pool noodles next to the hull with a rope through to keep the sun off.... the pool noodles do degrade with sun of course so they may not last long enough to make them worth while. It does sound like the top 6 inches or so would be better protected from the sun, whatever coating was used. Depending on the hull shape they may make good bumpers to fend off floating stuff too.

    Hi Jan. The blogpost on the H28 is what got me started. All the boxes seemed to tick off. But I wanted something a bit bigger. So. Hurray for the internet. 

    I don’t  know why bionic technology have nothing the 3.3 on their site. I’ve been corresponding with Peter Hoefnagels of the yacht “Ya” (dries out at low tides) and he’s very happy. 

    Rudolf, I’ve sent you a mail with the data sheets.

    I can't see a product called 3.3 though. There's a Google Translate button at the top of the homepage if you don't speak Nederlands.

    The boat is looking amazing Frederik, pushing me in the direction of a HF28!

    Time for a shave. 

    Done painting for now. Cooked up some sexy grey with  white, black & yellow sigma 456

    the final coats below the waterline are Hempel Hard racing that I intend to sand smooth for a final layer of nanocoat called biocoat 3.3 from a firm in the Netherlands.
