Sanding and painting the hull. I hauled the boat out to do lots of boat jobs in the beautiful mountainous environment of St. Kitts in the Caribbean
I'm hauled out the boat in St. Kitts at St. Kitts Marine Works, explore where to go to get materials, and sand and paint the hull
From buying a sailboat, to making it ready to sail, to sailing the Caribbean
----------------------------
Knowing nothing about boat ownership, I bought a sailboat a little over a year ago. After fixing it up, I solo sailed from Guatemala to Honduras, Cuba, Jamaica, Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, Dominican Republic, Grenada and now to St. Vincent & The Grenadines. I'm Huub, follow me on this journey if you like

365 days I crewed on sailboats from San Diego, USA all the way down to Panama, stopping in Mexico and Costa Rica. After Panama crossing the Pacific Ocean to New Zealand stopping at islands like the Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia, Tonga and Fiji
45 days I traveled through New Zealand from the Northernmost point to the Southernmost point, then
100 days I traveled by motorbike through Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, then
365 days I traveled in my self-built campervan from Kyrgyzstan to Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, then
365 days I traveled with this van through Iran and Pakistan, then
180 days I built an off-grid log cabin in the woods in Spain, then
180 days I restored an old sailboat in Guatemala, then
365 days I traveled with this sailboat from Guatemala to Honduras, Cuba, Jamaica, Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Grenada and more islands in the East Caribbean
Currently I am #stkitts while being at #boatwork meeting #saillife

You definitely need to be wearing a good respirator mask when sanding paint, especially bottom paint. Also eye and ear protection is important.

Agreed, Huub needs to wear a proper mask. While this was better than nothing, it wasn't much better because it didn't fit correctly. A good canister mask with replaceable elements that has a good seal is the best.

Not that it wears off faster, but that sunlight increases growth just below the waterline. That's why you'll see the side that's in the shade at the dock look new.

I like the way dark hulls look but I'd rather have white because it doesn't heat up so much in the sun. My theory is dark paints are less durable in sunlight.

Beautiful scenery, great location to work on your boat. It may be to late to suggest but a thin gold line of paint would look nice where you have a white one now and a red boot stripe along the bottom would be very nice. Good luck with all of your boat projects. Cheers, S/V Cork ~ Texas ⛵ 🇺🇸

The earth placement makes it easy for you to stand while sanding and painting but unfortunately the tires prevent you from doing everything at once. I like the blue color. Were you able to put on 3 coats from just one quart of paint? Maybe you used lots of thinner. 🙂

@robertscholz4486

Hey Huub ... I never noticed it before, but you appear to have some sort of old wind vane steering system on the back of the boat -- I'm guessing that since we always see you using the auto pilot that it doesn't work. Why not remove it while you have the opportunity, and use the space to install a swim platform to make getting on and off of the boat easier from the dinghy? That was a pretty good color match for the boat, and i can't help thinking how nice a gold cove stripe would be to compliment the blue (just a suggestion).

Huub, nice job mate. I too am planning on re-painting my boat (also a 30ft) and was planning on using the new International Toplac plus paint. What is the orange peel level like in rolling on, as I noted you didn’t tip off.. My boat will be painted Mulberry colour as this is what it was originally painted in, a previous owner painted it purple some years ago and it’s completely gone off. Do you think sanding back with 180 grit was enough or if you went further with day 220 or even 320 grit one could get a even smoother finish ??
@HuubVlogs
@HuubVlogs 9 місяців тому
Normally id do primer first. But since the previous color was blue and only 1,5 years old, I didn't. I did not tip, wasn't necessary. If you really want to perfect it, I guess you should sand it afterwards with like a 1.000 grit (do research the exact on the internet, not sure)
@1240enzo
@1240enzo 9 місяців тому
@@HuubVlogs Thanks Huub. I am going to need to prime first as I will be doing a colour change. I understand your reasoning why you didn’t need to in this case. Liminada sure looks better for her new paint 😁👍.

Yo mate, Ive been watching you from the start of your sailing adventures and appreciate all your vids. Would you consider being the great Caribbean sailboat hunter, ie; seeking out sailboats for sale wherever you find yourself and perhaps take requests to go to different locations to look at specific sailboats? I myself am seeking a sailboat in the Caribbean a little more outfitted for off grid than commonly advertised.
