EARLY ACCESS AD FREE EPISODE | 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!
We also share with you why we chose to go with a whole new bottom paint for the boat and why specifically Copper Coat.

That’s one sexy boat!! Amazing job guys! Tom is, indeed, a legend! Thank God you didn’t take me up on my offer to help you while on the hard. 😁 Can’t wait to see VA in real life.
Tom is the Bomb! Never met him but he seems like a real solid person. Beers on me if we ever meet Tom!
Maybe you will meet him in Greece!
@13:43 Too bad copper isn't more magnetically attractive/repulsive, we could skew the copper towards the surface.
I'm losing my mind now. There has to be a process for CopperCoat to make use of magnetic field approach effect on the copper/epoxy mixture. : https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a15902858/copper-strong-magnets/ Perpendicular to the approaching magnetic field means outward thrust on the copper right? So if we oscillate a magnet inside the hull while the coppercoat is being applied then it shoves the copper through the epoxy to the surface right? I may be reading this wrong but magnetic fields are circular at their apex (think Sun spot videos) so perpendicular would mean outward...
No copper coat on the saildrives? Very interested in they why on that.
Dissimilar metals can cause an electro galvanic corrosion
Well wait just a gosh darn minute! Pennies are made of cooper... Why not coat your hull with glued on pennies! So cheap! :(
oh even better idea! That would look super cool too
What are pyrex beakers made of? It's just glass. How can we not apply glass to hulls yet? Sand -> temperature -> glass. My Jeep has aluminum powder coated fenders and I can't conceive of marine growth penetrating that, much less a rock in Moab.
@2:14 Why hasn't anyone considered painting their hulls with RedBull? Screw Copper Coat. RedBull gives you antimarinegrowthinhibitor wings! :)
bahaha thats funny! maybe it would make us super fast too!
