To All: Try Branford Landing, at the top of the Branford River, Chris (203) 483-6544. He has great docks and restaurant, Nellie Green's, http://nelliegreens.com/, and usually has room for transients during the week day. He is very reasonably priced. Going up the river will take about 20 minutes, good depth at low tide except at the turn at Bruce & Johnson's, but still passable even for my 7 ft draft due to very soft and soupy mud bottom. The river is beautiful with lots of wildlife and a great sheltered place to be. The Shoreline East commuter rail station is across the street from the boat yard.
I can also suggest New Haven harbor, a good anchorage with Sage Restaurant in front of the anchorage. Great depth very well marked. http://www.sageamerican.com/index.html If you want to talk off line I am at john.mat...@yale.edu or 203-494-6782.

Only recently (2008) did they change their policy. These earlier engines had a Hurth transmission. Once Yanmar changed transmissions to Kanzaki and other non-Hurth gear boxes, they now recommend neutral only. So the current statement is applicable to older and newer engines, even though the older ones can still be placed in reverse to lock the shaft while sailing. I have read that many Kanzaki's do not like to come out of reverse after being locked. Yanmar used to advise just starting the engine in reverse then shifting to neutral. While Yanmar used to say reverse or freewheeling, now due to the reverse locking and damage to the Kanzaki's cones they now make a statement which is safe for all(and great for the folding prop manufactures). - Paul E. s/v Johanna Rose Carrabelle, FL -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It works, but is very messy. From Jonathan's note and my experience, you need two people to apply it and to remove it. It is messy - you must keep it moist, and you need a bunch of different kinds of scrapers to match the contours of your boat. Cover the ground under the boat. Get help. Apply liberally. Cover thoroughly with the plastic 'paper'. The tricky part is applying the goo, then putting the paper up onto the bottom of the boat (upside down!) and making sure it is completely covered. Let it sit the required amount. Remove with plastic scrapers (get goo all over yourself in the process). Wear Tyvec. Then it will work, the chemical is good and covering it up lets it do its work. Don't work in 90 degree temperature - it sets too quickly. Don't try this alone - Jonathan and I concur.

Several winters ago I started to try sanding off multiple years of ablative and goodness knows what else. After countless hours and lots of sanding disks I gave up and switched to Peel Away. I have to say it worked really well but nasty to deal with when removing. I also made the mistake of not keeping it moist. I took off too large an area of the plastic sheeting and ran out of daylight before removing all the paint / paste. The peelaway then set up like concrete! I would definitely go the chemical route again. My gel coat was like new. Unlike the boats in the yard that had been soda stripped. Their gel coats felt slightly rough and invariably small traces of paint were left Jonathan Indigo - Southport Sadly only 20 days before haul-out On Sep 6, 2012, at 12:59, "Bob Hickson" <bobhick...@rogers.com> wrote: Thanks to everyone for your feedback / suggestions. I do not think that a pressure wash (high pressure) will work well on antifouling without damage to the gel coat. My boats have always been pressure washed in the fall by the yard after haul out and this certainly does not remove the bottom paint. Higher pressure might work but at the expense of the gel coat. I power sanded the bottom of my previous boat (Viking 28) and I am not anxious to repeat this experience on the 29. I had to sand the previous boat in mid winter because it had VC Tar under the paint and this cannot be sanded unless it is cold (it smears and blinds the sandpaper in warmer weather). I have a quote of $1,800 to soda blast the 29-2 .... seems pretty high. Have a second quote for $600 from a contactor that is going to use a wet sand blasting approach with very fine sand. I am a bit leary of this approach since I hear that you can do extensive damage to the gel coat / fiberglass by using sand. The sand is reportedly too aggressive. I am waiting for a quote from a contractor that can do dry ice blasting ... this sounds like a great approach since there is no blasting media to clean up. Will let you know what his price is. So far nobody has said very much about chemical strippers. I would like to know a bit more before I make a decision. The Franmar website has an interesting video (second link) about using their product ?Soy Strip? http://www.franmar.com/industries/marine-boating.html http://www.franmar.com/videos/43-product-videos-bottom-boat-antifouling-paint-removal-soy-gel.html Was hoping for some firsthand feedback on this product or other chemical strippers. Looks like a choice between dry ice blasting or Soy Strip at this point Best regards, Bob Hickson, P.

You will need this to de-activate the goo when (not IF) it gets on your skin, and also to spray the boat bottom to de-activate the chemicals before applying barrier coat!

Pequot YC's restaurant is closed for the evening and it's a bit of a long walk to town. Same is true for Black Rock YC. Looking for someplace nice, slip or mooring, easy in and easy out, and with dinner choices either on site or very close by. Any suggestions?? See you in a week and change . . .
