Piriapolis Boatyard Day 19
09/08/11 20:16 Filed in: Uruguay | Maintenance
Final day in the boatyard.
Two coats of Hempel antifouling paint applied all over. Three coats at the waterline and on the rudder.
It only remains to antifoul under the yard props and keel once Kiriwina is in the travel lift tomorrow morning.
Gelcoat repairs more or less complete and coach house/cockpit polishing completed.
Hull brightwork polishing completed.
Precision alignment of new waterline on hull and rudder.
A new button anode was fitted in December 2007. At haul out in May 2011 this was about 50% degraded. This anode was about 20% degraded. Worth recycling.
The propeller was coated with waterproof grease and the stripper will receive one coat of antifoul tomorrow morning.
Adjacent boats reflected on Kiriwinna's freshly polished hull.
The hull anode shown here was also fitted in November 2007. With only 20% degradation it was cleaned up and reused.
The rudder was secured with only one nut. Kiriwina will be moored in Piriapolis after launch and some new 21mm stainless steel nuts will be sourced and drilled in Buenos Aires. Rudder cap and tiller reinstalled.
Fenders deployed ready for launch.
