  • In this video, Bye Bye Bootstripe and Barrier Coat - Cruising Sailboat Refit, I sand the waterline removing one of our boot stripes then apply barrier coat to cover it up and also paint over our recent keel joint patch. Following this I wet sand the old antifoul in preparation for new, and I wax the entire freeboard gelcoat surface using my boat wax and my new buffer tool.

    In August of 2017 we sold everything and moved aboard Balachandra, a 1986 C&C44 sailboat. After 2 fridgid Canadian winters in the North Atlantic we untied the lines and headed south to cruise in the Caribbean for another 2 years, exploring as far as Grenada. Sailing Balachandra is our CZcams sailing vlog inspired by other great channels such as Delos, La Vagabonde, Sailing Uma and Project Atticus, we document the sailing adventures of myself (Dan) and my partner Nawal as we navigate the globe. We also dive into lots of DIY boat projects both above and below decks, and share with you all of the pros, cons, costs, essentials, trials and tribulations of living aboard a sailboat full time. Please SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss out on future videos!

    It seems that another sailing channel bites the dust. And I don't have anything against sailing channels.

      Yeah, you always wonder in these situations, did they run into health issues or worse, did they break up, did they just decide it wasn't worth doing anymore..., anyway I don't plan on doing a sailing channel but looking at getting into sailing

    I was hoping you were going to add a second boot stripe above the one you painted but since you waxed I'm guessing not.

      Interlux topside paint - make sure to sand and clean with solvent before using!

    I happened across your channel a couple of days ago, and if you don't mind, I'd like to make a few suggestions. Just so you know, I'm not looking to criticize. The first suggestion is to open a Paypal account and list a link in every video to it that people can use for one-time donations. Likewise, set up a "Buy me Coffee" account and link it for the same purposes. I, as an example, do contribute occasionally to CZcams creators, but I do not want to be on a per episode, or per month, commitment. Also, include such links both in your "about" and individual "show more" links. With respect to this "how-to" video". Such videos would be more highly appreciated by viewers if you listed the products you have used in the video in your video "show more" section. Additionally, be careful that when you show the product themselves that you are emphasizing in the video, so that they can be easily seen. If you list the products with their Amazon purchase links, you should probably be able to set up an Amazon "Affiliate" account, and you could make some money that way. Lastly, don't go too quickly over your "how-to" video details. Presumably, people are watching because they want to learn something they don't already know, so details you take for granted may not be so obvious to them. Sorry, this is so long. Fair winds, and thanks for your videos!
