Why We Chose Copper Coat Anti-foul Paint for Our Catamaran | Episode 246
The time has come for us to paint the final layers of Copper Coat paint on our catamaran before splashing and setting sail, but there is still so much work to be done. Hoping we can get it all done before we get back in the water has added a little stress to the situation!
We are ready to get her back where she belongs, join us on this episode, where we finalize all the boat work and leave the dirt and grim of the yard!

Tom is the best.
Hey guys, absolutely love the videos....and Warren, regardless of what some think or say I really enjoy the boat work videos. Although I may never get to experience the boat life I really love learning different skills and how too's from your videos.
I can't believe Tom was working for room and board...wow...he's a crazy legend.
Tommy boy. The legend. Also Warren remember - happy wife, happy life. Feed the unicorn with love.
TOM, You Da’ Man Braddah! 🤙
Way to go, Tom! And crew! Interested to see how the copper coat pays off for you. So much work but hopefully worth the effort. Thank you for yet another fascinating and informative video. You guys rock!
We have had Gori props on our Astrea since new. After three years wouldn’t have anything else. But beware, they are not strong in reverse which isn’t a prob if you know. Enjoy. Tini & Peter - Smokyjim
Tom has Legend status which is even better than good guy status.
Wow rock on guy's so cool your back in the water. TOM thank you for helping them out sir everyone be safe
Should be more fun racing Colin now. At least it'll be an even race with your new prop😊
Great job and a lot of work. Thank goodness for Tom. Warren, why did you not paint the sail drives with Coppercoat as well?
We were lucky to have our Coppercoat done in a tent with no rain threat. It is so solid and hard. After sanding before launching the bottom shimmered like a shiny copper pan, reflecting the light on the water. We hauled after 2 1/2 years and there was noting that didn't blow off with a pressure washer. The haul was just a lift and look and a pitch change on the Maxprop, grease, new zincs, and inspect all before the passage to FP. A couple hours in thee slings and back in the water. We have friends in the marina here who have a Peterson 46 that has CC bottom that is 16 years old and still good. Had half its life in tropical waters. We saw this boat hauled and the bottom looked like new. And ours is so slick and smooth that i;'m sure it adds speed as well. And you won't be sanding that poison stuff anymore.
Tom is the MAN!! Love yall!! Warren be nice to Erica… ~Celeena
I'm building a 15' Cape Cod catboat in my backyard as a learning/experimental project and as a vessel for a singlehanded 2 year travel project (Great Loop). I'm homebrew hacking an epoxy-copper powder antifoul. The lower-leach and longer life prospect is also what I'm drawn to. As a modern wooden hull, I'm concerned about electrolysis with the copper, soI'm building with plastic-composite nails in the hull to hold things tight while epoxy cures.
Thank you Tom!! I feel like we are already friends cause you helped my friends. I was really surprised that y'all didn't jump straight into the water as soon as you anchored after splash!! I was wondering if you guys had a good swimming hole you could enjoy while being on the hard, but you clearly did not have time. I'm glad you indulged in a pool day though. You probably feel like dried up lizards, Two months in the states and a month on the hard......
BTW m V a looks fabulous ❤ Love the new stripes ❤
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice 😊 👍🏻 That was fun 🎉🎉🎉. We are also going to do Copper Coat. I can only hope I will manage the stress as well when it is our turn.....soon. See you next time. ✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝️ 👙 🌞 ✨
Looks good well done . Tom legend
