LOVE LOVE LOVE the new color and purple!!!! Yes, sailing today was no bueno, our race was cancelled. Hoping to sale tomorrow.

Not going to lie, when I saw the still picture, I thought you had wrapped the boat instead of painting it.

How can I write a little ditty for your magazine? I am a stand up comedian living on a 45ft sailboat with my husband.

Looks great Tim. Never used Petit but looks like it came out great. After having sanded and repainted my deck 2 years ago and the bottom this year I’ll echo the amount of sanding needed….you’re never quite prepared for how much. lol. I used the same dewalt sander and I’m convinced it’s indestructible. I couldn’t believe the abuse it took. I’ll also echo the epoxy kit as I have one too having done 2 deck repairs and it’s a must. I used Total Boat Total Fair vs the watertight and was great. I echo the sanding pads and paint swirlie mixer from Amazon. Great video Tim and all of your suggestions are really helpful. Anyone thinking about doing it should just do it. It’s not that hard just takes time. You’ll be proud of the results and save a pile of money!

Glad you didn't paint the topsides black that's nothing but trouble south , painting is painting as you mentioned , if that's your job it is still a job if it's your boat it's a longer job 🙂

That looks great Tim!

Any ideas for single person on a catermaran...?

Just here to feed the algorithm monsters and tapping the thumbs up 👍 button.

She came out beautiful! Great job!

Would like to know where you obtained the decals. Painting soon and would like some graphics

For something inexpensive to live on I'm considering something like an old late 70's early 80's Moody 36 / 38 seems they come in around hte $30,000 mark. Unless of course they have a fundamental flaw which makes them a death trap that I don't know about.

I’m glad I watched this. Thank you.

Could have guessed you would be the type of guy to lower a Z71, but all kidding aside great job lady k is looking sharp bud!

Smartest looking boat in the lot

Beautiful! Well done. Good video too.

Purple and green bootline ?

Good job. To me, painting and pain in the ass doing it are of same word origin.

Looks good sir! Good tips, liked and added to a Playlist for when I take on this project. Fair winds skipper!

Good Job Tim

Now this is what we all need, (knowledge) and the will to do it yourself, just a tip when I paint I try to tint my undercoat if posable to a light top coat color when I know I will only do one top coat. But I love the black bottom and the boat looks amassing, we done Tim,

! tip I would give, is to stray soapy water on the boat, before placing the vinyl stickers. this makes getting air bubbles out, so much easier

Looks great!

Wow, the paint job looks great. Nice vibrant colour choices. 👌🏼

Personally, not the colours I would choose.. (Orange or Yellow with Flat black would be mine) but it looks like it turned out pretty well! Meanwhile, my white boat will stay white, because no time!

Racing opbs are the best.. Other people's boats. Nothing like saying hey look what broke going to have that fixed by next week? Most these days I'm skipper on my own dehler DB1 just south of you on the western basin of lake Erie. Make it to Leamington every now and then cruising. And Dan's rules of racing I always tell new crew and I always recite before a major offshore event like Mills. Protect the crew Protect the boat Have fun Win. You pretty much said the same thing, but a little abbreviated. And I tell everybody if we can't get all these right in the last order, the last one doesn't count. 35-year racing sailor. I've known screamers raced with screamers, and try not to. The only time I raise my voice is when we're going to break one of the first two rules.

What a great video!and im very impressed with the painting what a great job!

Looks more than good enough. I have a question about IOR boat classes, such as quarter-ton, half-ton, three-quarter ton, and on. I wonder what these ratings were based on. They seem tho have no direct dimensional connection to the actual boat size or proportions. My working theory is that these ratings are based on likely crew weight. A quarter-tonner, for example, is like to have three to four crew members on race day. If I go by the old assumption that the average weight per crew member is roughly 150 lbs. The numbers seem to check out. A half-tonner would then have a crew of five to seven members. Does this make any sense to you?

color ooks like the jimmy buffett surfari 50. i saw it in sag harbor a couple of years ago

Nice!🤙

I scraped then sanded 20 years of hard blue bottom paint off a mid '80s 36 ft boat. My shoulders ached. Watching the first part of your video the pain came back. With the top sides: and then some. It is a big job.

For us colour challenged people what actual green colour is it and who did the decal and lettering? Thanks the job turned out looking very professional.

Awesome tips and great color scheme! Will the registration numbers fit above the turtles?!

one brand that I always recommend, cheap and really great! Is Wesco! Give a try on this brand when you have opportunity

good job on the paint

Great job! What kind of bottom paint did you use? Hard or soft.

Nice work. I like the graphics 👍

As a house painter, doubling back like you did when rolling is called “back rolling” and is the most effective way to paint… even your house. It is like 1.5 paint coats in one go. The orange peel is usually because of too much paint on the roller, but doubling back tends to remove it. Sounds like a rough product to work with, but great results 👍

good job😀😀😀

I would love to build a Wharram Tiki 62. The biggest is 46. Can I borrow your driveway? 😂

❤❤❤

Glad that guy said it’s green for the colorblind people. Looks great Tim!

I need to paint my Catalina 25 this fall. She has been in the water for 2 years… time to get dirty. Maybe orange will be the new hotness!

If you apply soapy water (dawn) under your decals be fore applying them, then you can adjust them, and it helps remove the air bubbles.

I love to see a truck getting really used. Im going to miss my tacoma when i sell it, but my boat is getting new thru-hulls and bottom paint!

The colour's are interesting

OMG, those colors are popping awesome and i L.O.V.E. the Turtle!!!! Your Boat looks so neat!!! 🥰😍🤩💜💙💚🐢

For boat painters this video is a real gem. Thanks Jim

Absolutely worth doing this process if you enjoy it. Otherwise you are way better off hiring someone to do it and spend the same time working over time.

As a woodworker, 3M Cubitron sandpaper is the best. A bit more expensive, but with wood, you save time and go thru less sandpaper. Plus it’s a net so there’s no holes to line up. Is it better sanding a boat than cheap sandpaper? My money is on the Cubitron.

Good color combo! I Would recommend a clear coat, will protect the orange peel from blistering and the vinyl corners from lifting
