This is our tips and tricks for applying Coppercoat. It covers the application and tips for really activating the anti-fouling properties.
As winter arrives and the temperature drops we needed something to prevent the heat from escaping through the skylights. This is our DIY solution.

We had some reinforcements we wanted to do while working on the hull. This means glasfiber work, grinding, sanding, fairing.
We are switching from traditional anti fouling to CopperCoat. The first step was to remove all the old paint and barrier coating.
We decided to take this summer to put Linnea up on the hard. We often get the question to why we decided to do this in the middle of sailing season.

Providing good ventilation under the bed has been one of the most challenging parts of living aboard during the winter. Step by step we have added solutions and finally believe we have found something that works.
We spend a lot of time maintaining and upgrading Linnea. We want her to feel like ours and the more work we put in the better we get to know our boat, and the more she fits our needs and dreams. Here we’ll try to share our work, both good solutions and solutions that we had to rethink more than once!
