Thanks Dennis

Be sure to post the after pics as well.

Glad to hear that you found a good painter since those are difficult to find.  
Also glad to hear that you are pleased with Awlcraft!

Mike,

It's Awlcraft 2000.  Chosen for exactly the reason you stated.

The paint got scuffed during Hurricane Ida in 2021.  I can see the primer so it 
can't be buffed out.  Here's a link to a picture of the scuffs:

Another reason why I took Touche' to Pensacola.  This is the same contractor 
that painted it in 2011 and then again in 2020 after damage due to Hurricane 
Sally.  He's very good.

Hi Denis

You referred to Topsides touchup.  What paint do you use that can be touched up?

Persistence had Awlgrip which eventually had many small scratches and other 
experiences.  It was repainted over the winter using Awl Craft since Awlcraft 
can be repaired.  We will see how that goes

I believe Awk Craft 2000 can only be sprayed.  It is not to be brushed or 
rolled on.  Mine has 3 coats of Awk Craft clear gloss which helps protect the 
paint and the surface and is easier to buff out scratches unless they go to the 
primer then you are into repair and touching up with a spray repair touch up.

Long weekend.  Took Touche' from its home slip in Mandeville, LA to Pensacola 
to get bottom paint and topsides touchup.

Friday - Mandeville to Gulfport uneventful
Saturday - afternoon weather looked really nasty so we just moved a couple 
hours down the coast to Biloxi.  Squall line hit us about 4 pm.  Felt like 40+ 
knots.  Boat heeled about 5 degrees in slip.  Glad we weren't crossing Mobile 
Bay.  Second squall line hit us about 4 am.
Sunday - underway early to marina on ICW at Gulf Shores, AL.  66 nm in 9.5 
hours.
Monday - easy motor up "ditch" (ICW) to Pensacola Yacht Club.  Anchored in Big 
Lagoon was this boat, S/V Seeker.  It's a junk rigged boat.

and here:

https://www.svseeker.com/wp/blog/  (Watch his video about halfway down the 
page.  What a contrast!  A junk rig and a foiling AC40)

While crossing Pensacola Bay the New York Yacht Club's AC40 America's Cup boat 
was practicing.  Wow!  The acceleration and speed is incredible.  They were 
gone down the bay in a flash.  I took some video but I can't seem to get it to 
work in Google Drive.

Hauled Touche' this morning and drove 4 hours home.

Now the question.  Why do I take Touche' 26 hours to get it painted?  Answer - 
IMHO, the painter is way better than any in my area.

I just found out about this SV -seeker a couple weeks ago while visiting a
friend in punta Gorda. It was a hot afternoon, so he started showing me
YouTube's of it. Then, the whole Sailing Anarchy thread, which goes back
years. This is a classic tale about a fellow who doesn't know what he
doesn't know, and moreover, refuses to ever learn what people might suggest
he doesn't know! Most of the sailing anarchy is made up of what he calls
trolls, who just follow it to ridicule him.  I can see is pretty hard not
to do. He has created this huge steel "sailboat" which is a stretch in
itself, complete with steel poles for spars.  This thing should never be
taken out in open water. It looks about is unseaworthy as some of those
huge cruise ships. He gets a lot of donations, and is supposed to be for
research. But no self-respecting, college or institution would ever allow
their people to go out on this thing on open water. Think, tiger King.
