MUMM36 ZAMBONI Bottom Paint

With National Yacht Club's launch only a week away, it was time to get the bottom painted on race boat ZAMBONI.

Phil and I got down to the boat mid morning, and started by sanding any rough spots, wiping down the entire bottom of the boat, and masking off the waterline.

Took about two hours to paint the bottom with VC17.


We put two coats on the bow section, keel and rudder.
Turned out pretty well.



We also ground down the sail drive:


...and applied some aluminum etching enamel primer.

ZAMBONI's mast is 3 years new.
When taking it down last fall, we noticed that the mast is cracked front and back at the partners:



The mast manufacturer Klacko will be picking it up next week for repair:


Phil and wrestled the mast down from the racks and removed the forestay.
