S2E33 coppercoating the hull (Dominican Republic) 

You have made her your boat and it shows...good job.

I really like the full keel on Artha and the overall underwater shape of her hull. She should be very comfortable going to windward in a chop. She looks like she won't pound at all. I used to live aboard an Eastward Ho with a similar underwater profile and transom-hung rudder. With that long keel, you could balance her on the wind so well that you could drop the tiller, go forward to adjust something, then come back and she would still be plugging along, on course. Artha looks like she will be similar in terms of balance and tracking. Artha is looking very "shipshape and Bristol fashion" (pun intended) with her new copper coat! Great to see her being brought back to life.

Very nice job even though the P it’s just marking his territory, and for good luck😊

A week ago I came across one of your Season 2 episodes by accident. I was interested in your journey & started from the beginning, S1E1, now on S2E35. What an adventure you've embarked on. I have to say you are a remarkable & tenacious young women with so much drive & courage, you're an inspiration. I myself know what it's like to build & work on boats. I've lived on 2 sailboats, one I refurbished just as you're doing. I used to work for a boat builder years ago & have over 200 boats under my belt so I know all to well what it takes to build a fiberglass boat right from the bare hull to a finished product & splash the water. In all the videos I've watched thus far you've over come many challenges. And to my surprise I've never heard you once complain about itching from grinding & sanding fiberglass, no matter how much some one protects themselves you're gonna feel uncomfortable, no amount of protection is gonna change that. Keep your eye on the prize it'll all be worth it in the end plus the satisfaction you did it yourself & knowing every inch of your boats strengths & weaknesses. You are as tough as they come without a doubt. Wishing you all the best in your journey.

I'm a sprayer of two pack polyester materials, and I so want to spray your little boat for you. You are doing ok in my book.

Nice job--all your hard work paid off nicely !!!

Wow ! Such a great job! What a difference between primer coating and full copper coating. Congrats.

She's scrubbing up beautifully... You're doing a superb job...

Such a determined person. One with a goal and willingness. This beautiful lady doesn’t let a knee stop her. Hope she didn’t push it to hard. . Hats off to both the young lady determined and copper coat

Yikes, that seems like a little but of a stressful job! I know nothing but it looks good to my eyes!

The boat is looking closer and closer to the big float. You are doing a great job.

Artha now looks like an upside-down Duracell!!

Awesome job! Looks great!

I ❤ ❤❤ coppercoat ! The hull really looks amazing. That time and effort you spent will pay off for years to come. Hope your leg gets better soon. I have a knee injury and I know how frustrating it can be at times. ✖️

Looking good! Plus 10K subscribers, you're doing good. Stay focused and keep finding beauty in life.

Interesting to see the whole process and your explanation was great 😀

Looks like the legs back, now your really going to hit some strides, Good Luck.

Fantastic job you are doing. You feel like a real friend to us. We all waiting to see you on the water, where you belong. Beautiful Lady. 💝

Everything is looking so good!

Wow! Boat looks superb already. Well done.

Magnifique bateau, pressé de le voir naviguer

Looks awesome. Well done

Boom’s getting so big! Everything is coming together, that’s a huge hurdle you just aced 😎

You made the hull smooth as silk which was a real challange. Respect for you, Nicole ! The hull looks great; congrats with this result ! Congrats on your affiliation with Copper Coat USA. Greetings, Frank

Wow Artha's gonna be a wonder out in the water! You are doing great!

That is going to be one gem of a boat ! Thanks for the info on copper coat.

Thanks for sharing! I need to do a bottom job on my boat before too long, and this seems like a great option! If I go this route, I will use your link.

She is starting to look beautiful. You have made significant progress. I know you will keep running until you get her in the water and can see how she sails with a clean bottom.

boat is looking pretty clean

Keep up the good work hunny. 😘🙏

Boom would be catching the boom. lol bad dog! Boat is coming along nicely. Stay safe sister….

Love the honest review of copper coat, I'll definitely use it next time I do my haul.

Well done, how good does that look 👍

looking great

She looks lovely! Well done! 👏👏👏👏👏

Looks fantastic. Looking forward to seeing how this product works out for you. Would also be good to have a talk about the whole process & costs. All the best with everything. Keep up the good work 💪. SV Kiwi Lady Opua Bay of islands New Zealand 👍🏿

The boat is shaping up nicely, it will be nice to see it in the water under sail.

Soon you will be back in the water and sailing. Well done. Gerard.

Well done, am envious! Thanks, Andrew in Deltaville

Great job Nicole and the boat looks awesome 🙌

Looks great!

Great job!

Heads up Brad? Everything looks same as mine 4 months ago.. loving the rebuild videos...New Zealand fan

Great job, ⛵️

🎉Great work 🎉

Super spendy stuff .... you finessed something !! lol :)

Awesome Job- when I order mine I will definitely use your code!

This hull bout killed me just watching. A serious chapter over. Time to celebrate and sail on

Looking good 🎉 you are doing a first rate job 🎉

Trinidad Blue with Cayenne pepper loaded in it.. (ablative paint)... is another (cheaper) resource... lol, or Trinidad (Petit) Red..

Oh Boom

Great job. Will you need to do the areas that were under the supports?

looks very fine; !!!

Yay good Job 🥰

When something suddenly attracts you because you like it or you liked it in Spanish there is an idiom phrase that goes like this: PIPÍ CUCÚ / COOL EXCELLENT JOB. Do you remember when you doubted at the beginning. Well, thanks to GOD 🤩💥

ON ON !!

you forget your rudder

Boom 😂 Funny shit. Wish I could copper kote my bottom but it's aluminum. Sooo cool, though.

What is the haul out fees in this yard? Can you stay on your boat in the yard when your working? Can you walk to a town?. Here on Martinique yards are very expensive. Hope you make it to our island

We still want to know about the rudder. Will the rudder be copper-coated?

Copper 🔥💯

My son and i both live on boats and are considering copper coat. The chance to talk to someone about it that has first-hand experience would be great if you have some free time LoL. He has bombay clipper 31 and i have gulfstar 41 large project that i know very little about

Everything is going wonderfully, but take NOTE for the next beaching and hull cleaning. International MICRON Antifouling and Primer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⛵

Just curious, how much would it cost to have the yard do it.

You make me want to buy a bristol channel cutter 28 ! What a beautiful boat!😍❤️

When do you coat the parts of the hull that is on the stands?

Woohoo!🙋😻🥳

Good girl :)

🇹🇷🇹🇷👍👍

Great job but you really need to finish the topsides before you finish the bottom

How's the knee

😀

😅🎉❤

Copper coat and other ablative bottom coats are a waste of money. Just get in the water and give her bottom a rub every now and then. I had my Antares 44 for 8 years, she came out when I bought her and came out when I sold her, Opps one other time to replace a leaky through hull

😀😀👍👍❤❤ @dadzilla007 1 month ago Looks like the legs back. Thank the lord!
