I had my mast repainted with an epoxy paint about eight years ago. I don’t recall the brand. It was important to use a primer and to apply the primer in certain weather conditions (due to aluminum), but we still had some adhesion problems. The smartest thing I did was select a color that looks like aluminum. The chips and scratches are barely noticeable.

DejaVu is a 1990 C&C 34/36+. The mast came painted from the factory and over the years its gotten more than a few scuffs. With the mast down (in preparation of splashing at Lake Lanier) I want to put a top coat of paint on it before re-rigging the boat. Not sure if the original paint is an enamel or an epoxy paint? My plan is to spend a day prepping the mast taping off areas and hand sanding with 220 grit to allow for better adhesion on the top coat. Following this will be a tack cloth with mineral spirits to have the surface clean and ready. Questions are what paint would be best? Will i have to first reprime the mast or would there be a paint choice that would act both as prime & top coat? How can I find out if the mast was enamel or epoxy paint? Thank You and appreciate advise ahead of this project.

IIRC, an A4 was rated as 30HP, but the shaft HP was something like 17or 18. Which is why an2 cylinder Yanmar is a suitable replacement foe an A4.

She stops on a dime and handles very well with all that power. I suspect some might simply have been re-powered over the years as our Santiago was. _____ _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
