After owning this 1983 Cape Dory 25D for nearly two years, I finally haul it out to the boat yard to remove the old bottom paint and paint it fresh. I don't think these types of videos honestly capture the amount of work that must be done to complete such a job. I have a much deeper respect now for the people doing this for a living. Removing old paint is hard!
Thank you to my friend Bob for generously and sincerely offering to help with the hard work and for introducing me to Pat "Corky" Corcoran and "Chico". I'd also like to thank Dean, Daniella, Rolf, and Ray who I met at the yard for their valuable advice, use of their tools, and hearty encouragement. The boating community is full of excellent people and I hope to meet up with these folks again in the future.
Cameras:
- GoPro Hero 8 (An emergency purchase 'cuz I left all my other cameras at home and there were no suitable options with zoom. Ugh!)
- iPhone 6 (with four cracks in its lens)
Songs:
"Crops" by Telecasted; "Out on my Skateboard" by Mini Vandals; "Your Love" by Yung Logos. All of these via RU-vid music.
Merch!
Just in case you can't help yourself:
