WET SAND The Hull and Painting Barrier Coat - Cruising Sailboat Refit | Sailing Balachandra E115 

In this video, Bye Bye Bootstripe and Barrier Coat - Cruising Sailboat Refit, I sand the waterline removing one of our boot stripes then apply barrier coat to cover it up and also paint over our recent keel joint patch. Following this I wet sand the old antifoul in preparation for new, and I wax the entire freeboard gelcoat surface using my boat wax and my new buffer tool.

In August of 2017 we sold everything and moved aboard Balachandra, a 1986 C&C44 sailboat. After 2 fridgid Canadian winters in the North Atlantic we untied the lines and headed south to cruise in the Caribbean for another 2 years, exploring as far as Grenada. Sailing Balachandra is our RU-vid sailing vlog inspired by other great channels such as Delos, La Vagabonde, Sailing Uma and Project Atticus, we document the sailing adventures of myself (Dan) and my partner Nawal as we navigate the globe. We also dive into lots of DIY boat projects both above and below decks, and share with you all of the pros, cons, costs, essentials, trials and tribulations of living aboard a sailboat full time. Please SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss out on future videos!
