Hi
I purchased an Ericson 38-200 six months ago named Southern Cross from Mark Reed who lives near Oregon USA, the Yacht is moored at Tuncurry NSW Australia at my private jetty. I am about to have the Yacht taken out of the water in order to clean and paint the bottom with antifoul paint, the cost is $500 out and in again plus $100 a day, I have not done this before and would really appreciate any suggestions.
1:The yacht will be sitting on its keel on the slipway carriage balanced by side supports only, is this safe enough?
2:How many anodes are there, what type and size and part number are they so that I can have them on hand to replace them.
3:I intend to use 1 US Gallon (3.8 Lt) of International Micron 66 paint, is this enough for 2 or 3 coats it covers 7 square mt/Lt using a roller.
4:I will be using a high pressure Gurney to clean the bottom before I paint, is this enough?
5:If some patching is required what should I use?
I am really a bit scared about doing this alone so any help would be greatly appreciated.
