Our biggest project yet! Our old bottom paint was failing and our thru hulls were corroding! We hauled out at Bert Jabin Yacht Yard to take care of both problems at once. Doing most of the work ourselves, we didn’t know what we were getting ourselves into! Incredibly hot weather and back breaking labor, after 4 days the thru hulls were complete and we finished prepping to start the paint. Thankfully we didn’t sand the bottom paint ourselves. Instead we wanted to start fresh and got the bottom professionally blasted down to bare gel coat. After days prepping the bottom of the boat we toiled for two MORE days to apply four coats of Interlux 2000 barrier paint followed by two coats of Trinidad Pro. We thought this was going to be easy peasy, right? I’ve painted the entire inside of my house, how hard could it be to paint a boat? We were so wrong… Constant crouching on our knees then standing back up - lather, rinse, repeat… The Trinidad Pro has so much copper in it, holding that heavy roller full of paint above our head for hours was brutal! On the bright side, we both got a full body workout two days in a row 🤣 We finished up the last coat of paint around 9pm and it wasn’t until the next morning that we could appreciate the fruits of our labor, it was so worth it. 💙 Will I ever volunteer to paint the bottom of another boat…? Oh, heck no! If you’re wondering how much money projects like this cost, check it👇🏼👇🏼 Thru hulls = $800 Barrier paint = $1000 Anti-fouling paint = $1050 Bottom blasting = $2000 Yard fees = $1650 Misc parts, supplies, & consumables = $300 TOTAL without labor = $6800 Cost of therapy = TBD…… 😵‍💫 #boatwork #sailingcouple #beneteau411 #sailboat #boatproject #diy #shorts

► Full test in Multihulls World 189: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/trimaran/rapido-40-fast-foldable-and-worry-free ► The Triac Composites shipyard and the enormous experience of its team produces a wonderful range of high-performance trimarans from 40 to 60 feet out of its base at Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), in Vietnam. The manufacturer has unveiled its latest “little” boat, the Rapido 40. Trick of the light - that’s its name - has shown good average speeds right from its first sail. This model, in the Racer version, is boosted with C-foils and a carbon rig. While the central hull has a very narrow beam at the waterline, reasonable volume is nevertheless ensured inside, thanks to a marked chine. The floats are particularly voluminous, obviously guaranteeing good strength. And when you go alongside in port, they fold like a dragonfly: the beam is reduced from 28’10” (8.80 m) at sea down to 17’1” (5.20 m). ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Broadblue Catamarans - Length: 39’4” (11.99 m) Beam: 22’ (6.7 m) - Light displacement: 11,020 lbs (5 t) Draft: 3’7” (1.1 m) - Mainsail: 625 sq ft (58 m²) Self-tacking solent: 300 sq ft (28 m²) Fuel: 2 x 53 US gal (2 x 200 l) - Engines: 2 x 20/30 HP Price: £ 281,660 ex-tax - www.broadblue.com Builder: Rapido Trimarans/Triac Composites Architect: Morelli & Melvin - Material: composite Length: 39’4” (12 m) - Beam: 17’1”/28’10” (5.2/8.8 m) Draft: 22”/4’7” (0.56/1.4 m) - Displacement: 10,600 lbs (4.8 t) Mainsail: 700 sq ft (65 m²) - Solent: 345 sq ft (32 m²) ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!

Das Boot auf dem wir die letzten 4 Jahre gelebt haben und über 15.000 Meilen gesegelt sind, gehört nun nicht mehr uns. Mitte Januar haben wir unsere geliebte Wanderling an Ihre neuen Eigner übergeben, die sie nun zurück in die Bahamas segeln werden. Für uns beginnt nun ein völlig neues Kapitel. Wir freuen uns, wenn Du dabei bist! :) #sailing #segeln #sailboat #sunset #abschied #boatsales
