Thank you very much for you kind comment!!! I wish we could keep on... but it is too much maintenance for our far distance relationship. But at least... there will be a few more videos, we think!
You may need permanent shade cover in Tahiti. The UV intensity is so much that all colored paint and varnish blisters off within a year ! I have a Tiki 26 in South Africa and eventually listened to the advice of local experts: paint everything on top with white carpaint. (very cheap here) lot of extra work ones it starts blistering
Thank you for your advice, and car paint is actually what we have used! I first asked in Huahine Import for paint for our boat and he sadly replied: We only have car paint. I thought: Excellent - and it’s very good. But, again, the three years of no maintenance due to the pandemic. 😢
Yes, carpaint is very strong. But it’s the color that matters. The temperature of anything darker than pure white gets hot. The wood or epoxy gets hot and starts to expand in the daytime and shrink in the nighttime. It’s gruesome to see your hard work being destroyed. For your underwater parts of the hulls only real coppercoats holds on. The barnacles grow very fast and right through any other antifouling. Be wise and spend some more time now when your circumstances to work are still controllable 😀👍♥️
I think car paint worked great, the Bermuda blue and Frost gray and we painted white on the roof! Copper coat is the best... expensive but good! No wonder they put copper plates on gaff rigged double enders in Norway! Also good against the ice!
Congratulations on the launch from Tampa, Florida, USA. Looks so good in her natural element. We love the color scheme( our Westsail is bright red with teal and beige trim). We thought the water temperature of 64 degrees F was too cold to dive and scrub the bottom, but now my wife is thinking I'm just looking to get out of the job!!

Thank you for your comment! We love BareBare, but now, unfortunately we have to sell her, maintenance is too difficult in a far distance (Norway - French Polynesia) relationship : (
Don't go away, these videos are too good. Pls keep sailing BareBare, fix her up piece by peace along your journey. 😎✌👌
