EP 43 Heath Moldveen Sea Hawk Marine Anti Fouling Paints Part 1

Hello and welcome to the Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States podcast. This is part 1 of a two-part interview with Heath Moldveen, who is a technical sales rep for Sea Hawk Premium Yacht Finishes. It was a long interview, so we split it into 2 parts. In the first part, we had a great conversation about the various different types of anti-fouling paints, how to pick the best one for your boat and how location and boat use play a role in selecting bottom paint. We also discussed the process of painting, including the critical preparation steps. Heath also addressed what to look for when selecting a yard to paint the button on your boat. In part two of the podcast, Heath gives some great tips for the DIY person so you can get a professional result. Make sure and listen to both episodes. We love to hear from our listeners, send us your questions, comments, and suggestions at sailingtheeast@gmail.com. If you know someone that would be an interesting guest on the show, please reach out to us and let us know. Wishing you fair winds, and calm seas. Bela and Mike
