Beneteau Oceanis 461Hull

The wetted surface of the hull was stripped completely for thorough gelcoat inspection. It was found to be in excellent condition, free of any blisters, delamination or damage. Very minor (dime-sized or smaller) nicks were faired along with the keel, using the West System. After fairing, the entire surface was barrier coated using Interlux 1000 and 2000 products, then finished with Interlux Micron 66 black bottom paint. The re-application of Micron 66 continued annually until such ablative coatings were disallowed in 2017-2018. Post hurricane Irma in 2017, bottom paint was upgraded to compliant brands. The cumulative result is a beautiful bottom surface. A new cutlass bearing and prop shaft water seal at engine end were renewed. Rudder shaft bearings were replaced. All the keel bolts were replaced with new for preventive maintenance. The boot stripe is done in a 2 color/3 stripe pattern of 1” gold over 4” of gloss black over a lower 1” gold on a white hull with a flat black bottom. The freeboard area shows very little wear and tear in its original white surface. She has received an annual buff and wax prior to each of its 4-5 month seasons in the water. She is stored on the hard for the rest of the year when not in use.
