Love your videos. So interesting to see Italy from your perspective. Beautiful boat. What did you say was on the bottom of your boat that didn't require you to reapply every year? The wind blew just as you said it. Looking forward to following you on your adventures.
Thank you for your feedback Amy - much appreciated. This is all very new to us, so trying to get to 100 subscribers so we can have our own URL. Spread the word if you can please. As to what is on the bottom, it's Coppercoat. Made in the UK. Basically a water-based two-pack epoxy with 2kg of spherical copper powder mixed into each litre. Supposedly after 8-10 years or so, you need to burnish it to scuff off the old resin, and expose fresh copper for another 8-10 years. This is our eight season, and so far we have not had to. Just a bit of slime each year, also last year we picked up some tubeworm. Had to scrape that off, but nothing this year (we are a good several weeks behind in the vids - nothing unusual there apparently ….). More coming in the next day or so I hope.
