There definitely is a lot of work to keep filling up a boat. But you both are up to the task. When you get back in the water I wish you smooth sailing. StayWell and happy.
I see that Sailing Cadoha is moving from Scotland to Ireland - they just started but it may be fun to see their path in that area - and they have nice drone and high quality camera footage..and cinematic music! Love watching y'all each week!
Thanks for the tip, just went to check them out! Great footage of the Caledonian Canal, we're really excited to get there. Not sure where Cadoha is in real time? We may have already passed each other.
It's sucks seeing elements on dry land. But I bet it's nice being on that pavement to do the work. I love it when you two are sailing and adventuring BUT I do love the maintenance/repair videos also. Thanks for sharing. 😀😀😀
There will always be a mix of the two. 🙃 But with the bottom done it means we can get in the water and start sailing again! (HInt, Ep 106 we shove off)
I saw when Delos put it on and decided at once that THIS was what my boat would have when I get one. (Copper is really bad for the fish) So the fact that you also use it, makes it a done deal. Smart PR from the company!
Really hope you are happy with the paint job - certainly a lot of work. It will be interesting to see how the silicone on the prop goes. A really interesting vid that shows the other side of sailing and many thanks for sharing. 👍👏
We said the same thing! "Wow, she looks really big!!". Once you get further north though, you tend not to see many boats over 42 ft. Which always helps us feel bigger by comparison. 😉
That was a cute shot with you reclined while Matt continued painting the starboard side. All that prep and painting takes a lot of patience...and luck, with the weather. Good job!
I figured that it was for effect only. You two are pretty good at sharing the work. Thank you for the continuous content. I know that's a lot of work, too. Love your channel.
I use silicone on my hull and propspeed on the running gear. Saves a ton of time cleaning and I get an extra half knot due to the super slippery surface. I think it’s the best thing in bottom coatings since canned beer.
I was washing dishes last week and watching how easy it was to clean my silicone tools.---which brought to mind a question: Why has some marine paint company not made a silicone based bottom Paint? Thanks Matt for answering my question before I even asked it.
It is one of the diesel tank so we didn't want to cut it out. It bottomed out in a hurricane years ago and dented another area that we did cut out and replace. Matt
A few questions for Matt - what is hard growth, is it a plant or animal? What would happen to elements if you used coppercoat? Notice loads of bottom job videos recently, is there a time of year to do it or was it coincidence?
Some paints (typically hard non ablative) can only be out of the water for a short period of time before they start to lose their effectiveness. For boats that are hauled every winter, it then makes sense to paint before launching in spring instead of right when you pull the boat in fall. Beside that, I can't think of any other reason that you'd see more videos posted now. Coppercoat would cause galvanic corrosion with our aluminum hull. Some are now advocating a thick epoxy barrier coat and then copper paints, but I'm still a bit leery of this process. I'd rather paint more often than risk the chance of eating away our hull :) We had a lot of slime on the hull the entire two years... this is plant based and this paint was horrible at stopping this. The hard growth were small shelled animals trying to hitch a free ride on Elements.... maybe 1 ever 6 square inches. It wasn't as bad as the zebra mussels we'd get back in Michigan or the barnacles from the caribbean, so I'd consider the paint successful at preventing hard growth. Mattt
Matt I really do think that your application of a silicon based product will help for the prop especially. Typically silicon based antifouling products do need some speed to work effectively, and well as you said your boat just doesn't have the legs for running at the speeds that paint would like. The prop though would have lots of water flow over it's surface so as long as you actually use the prop on occasion the stuff should come off. I'll be watching with interest the SeaJet as I had at one point been interested in the product. It fell off my radar as I just don't hear much about the company, but will try and visit their website to get the scoop on their products. A lot of the wide shots feature Georgie supervising all the work going on...
Thanks Allyn, I wasn't familiar with Seajet until I did some research looking for copper free antifouling. So far, I've been impressed with the products and support I've received with any questions... free paint didn't hurt either :) Matt
Hey I am retired now, watching grass grow or paint dry has suddenly moved up my priority list. ;-) Mind sharing how the keel buckled at the rear blocks? I suspect that is a previous happening and because your boat is aluminum it is not an issue. While it won't be seen, the color contrast is nice. Cheers Grand Rapidians.
We heard the dent was from a hurricane way before we bought the boat. The forward keel was damaged with a much larger dent, but we cut that out during the rebuild process.... the remaining dent is in a diesel tank and we didn't want to deal with the issues there so kept it. Matt
I think Matt took more trouble with that prop than Michaelangelo did with the roof of the Cistine chapel ! Looks great though :) Especially for free :)
I wish we would have filmed the final product better. The wind picked up after we filmed and the prop was sandblasted over night while it dried. Unfortuantely, it ended up a bit more sandpaper like than we wanted :( Matt
@@englishmaninfrance661 - I had Jess hit it with a fourth coat before we launched. Hopefully it still cured with the other coats and isn't just sitting on the top. Matt
There were similar bottom paints more than 20yrs ago. The problem with them was that you couldn’t easily go back to traditional bottom paints as it would not stick to the silicon.
Just a question if I may? When you paint the bottom does the sponsor ask you to make regular progress reports? After all, it would be advantageous, at least I think, to the company.
The bottom looks real good but it looked like that was a fairly thin coat of paint. I like the dark gray color. The prop looks amazing. I really like the color even though you won’t ever see it unless your under water. I hope it works as well as hey say it does.
The bottom paint did go on blatchy with the first coat. A lot of it was the large roller and uneven surface of the metal boat, but it was also the paints thickness and fast drying that made it a bit more difficult than some others I've used. Matt
Your keel near the support (as seen at 12.38min) appears to be buckled from bearing loads when on the hard. Is it an illusion or has it deformed? Not being picky just curious.
i would of let the primer and everything sit much longer between coats (no sun) and sanded it down a little between coats to make it smoother. it was fun to watch you both work while georgie supervised from the top. then watch matt work while jessie took her mandatory union break.
We were told to faithfully follow the times with this paint, so went hat route. The primer was well dried minutes after being applied... it just looked wet in the video. Matt
@@mattjohnson6716 hi matt, i understand you were following directions, i mentioned i would of waited longer and sanded etc... i'm weird like that. that propeller would of drove me nuts and i would of used a roller to make it smooth.
@@bird718 If you wait too long you do not get a chemical bond between coats. Any prep work for a smoother finish should be done before the AF primer goes on. (Source: Worked for a boat refinishing company)
@@lancer2204 i dunno what you used at that company? according to the sealjet companies specs it say that. sealjet primer 015, surface dry 15min-40+mins, min overcoating interval 2-5hours, maxium overcoating interval none. source www.seajetpaint.com/en/products/primer/seajet-015-underwater-prime so they recommend to wait 2-5 hours depending on the weather conditions before applying an overcoat. matt waited the appropriate time according to the manufacturer and a little more. i myself would wait longer due to it being on the bottom. thats me i would of also taped out the area where the stands were so its they come out as nice boxes to work on later to prime/paint when they are moved the next day.
No offense but your really dont want toput no sports emblems on your boat because if your team plays like shit or looses, you may possibly take that out on you boat ive seen it dont. But its your boat your do what you want
It was a trim tab, but was welded shut by a previous owner. Talking to the other Trisalu owners, it seem that it did nothing but make the boat difficult to reverse. Matt
It held up remarkably well. If you watch this video, at the 05:23 mark, Matt shows what it looks like after one year on, without having done a bottom cleaning. ruclips.net/video/HyYFTWXWAVg/видео.html&ab_channel=MJSailing
Seajet is a japanese brand but produced in the netherlands for the whole of europe, PS Marine Coatings is the distributor for the Netherlands and I follow you all for a year or two. The pellerclean is the thing even for your bottom hull.
We're in Ireland right now and expect to be in Scotland in the next week or two. We're just passing through on this trip (going to Norway), but will return in the late summer. Plan is to winter in the UK for this year. Matt

@@christinec1928 Some yards will come move the stand one at a time (liability) till they're all moved, then you repeat the bottom painting process on the squares where the stands were originally. Other yards will bring in the travellift and lift the boat enough to move the stands.
We are absolutely doing a 1 year update, but will only do a short period if we have an issue or complaint. Shoot us an email if you'd like an update between then. Matt
Hi guys.. is the sea jet only for Aluminum boats or do they have other products as well? I will need to be doing my trimaran soon - its a timber and fibreglass construction. (West system) and we are in Australia. What do you reckon would Seajet have suitable product? And how is is yours going so far?
Wait til it fully cures, prolly a couple of days. Then move the stanchions and do the entire process in those spots. If not doing a complete down to primer, but just a repaint, some wait until its getting ready to be hauled back into the water and on slings.
We had the yard hang our boat in the travel lift overnight and we painted the spots. It's not the recommended time between coats, but we've never seen the paint fail because of this in these spots. When we originally launched Elements, there was spot we painted a half hour before it was in the water and it held up fine for two years. Matt

It was a dent supposedly caused by bottoming during a hurricane before we bought it. The dent is in one of the diesel tanks, so hard to repair without major surgery.... we decided to was just fine the way it was. When we bought the boat, it also had a much larger dent in the forward keel from the same event. This was cut out and replaced. Matt
Love it when they offer to give it for free! Its good that companies recognise the power of social media and advertising. So do you literally wait till the end and move the supports at the end and do all the priming and coating just on those spots or move them as you go?
We actually cover that at the beginning of the next episode, but in this case the marina put us in the travel lift the night before we launched. That gave us the opportunity to access and paint areas that had previously been covered by the jackstands and straps.
@@MJSailing Im curious as it seems like theres many coats of primers and gel coats and seems like theres cure times that would take a lot of extra time.
Being a hull diver I'm not sure how I feel about this product? I make my living cleaning barnacles and slime off boats! All kidding aside it looks like a great product!
We originally used Pettit Aluma Protect (two coats), which is a zinc chromate primer, followed by 4-5 coats of Interlux interprotect. But we've had better luck with just the Interprotect on freshly ground aluminum, so used just that in these spots. Interlux used to advise doing a conversion coat (alodine and alumaprep) before priming with Interprotect, but they've found that they get good results with just the primer. We did the alodine treatment for half the hull and see no difference there either. Time will tell. Matt
I hadn't heard of Seajet before I started researching the copper free paints late last year. But everyone in the yard from Europe knew the brand and had good things to say... I hope they break into the US market. Matt
We sold the boat back in August of 2020, but here is a video showing how it was doing 16 months after we applied it. ruclips.net/video/HyYFTWXWAVg/видео.html&ab_channel=MJSailing
Good video and information on primers and anti fowl paint. Ive got a different question.are there any sailboats for sale between 37-47 ft and price please and how to get intouch. My boat ive had since new in 82 and 30ft is to small
"Free" bottom paint, sweet.... that reminds me my boat needs to be painted! Areas of the world are moving away from copper paints, it will be interesting how this paint performs.
I've seen even within the US some states are going away from copper (Washington). I don't know how much damage the recreational market does, but free of any heavy metals must be good. Matt
@@mattjohnson6716 I believe Marina Del Ray marina in Los Angeles, Ca chased out ablative paints. I have copper paint on my boat in Long Beach Ca. Some guys in Southern California go to Ensenada Mexico to get the old school, really toxic stuff. It works great but is terrible for the ecosystem.

Worked today, nice.
Being a hull diver I'm not sure how I feel about this product? I make my living cleaning barnacles and slime off boats! All kidding aside it looks like a great product!
10:19 Haha Jess, this is how I prefer to 'watch paint dry', Matts view is way too close for me.
Great job...Was the primer a "Zinc Chromate" type?...Thanks again for sharing...
We originally used Pettit Aluma Protect (two coats), which is a zinc chromate primer, followed by 4-5 coats of Interlux interprotect. But we've had better luck with just the Interprotect on freshly ground aluminum, so used just that in these spots.
Interlux used to advise doing a conversion coat (alodine and alumaprep) before priming with Interprotect, but they've found that they get good results with just the primer. We did the alodine treatment for half the hull and see no difference there either. Time will tell.

Thanks Matt.
Read the reviews and comparison online. Interested in your results. Don’t think it’s available in the USA.
I hadn't heard of Seajet before I started researching the copper free paints late last year. But everyone in the yard from Europe knew the brand and had good things to say... I hope they break into the US market.

How is your paint holding up?
We sold the boat back in August of 2020, but here is a video showing how it was doing 16 months after we applied it.

@@MJSailing Thank you for the quick reply
Buy poor Matt some new pants!
Nahhh, those are his work pants. They're meant to get dirty. 😉
Missed a spot.
Update on results?
Hi
Could you do this in a Bill Hader’s Keith Morrison Dateline voice ?
Good video and information on primers and anti fowl paint. Ive got a different question.are there any sailboats for sale between 37-47 ft and price please and how to get intouch. My boat ive had since new in 82 and 30ft is to small
In the Azores? There is an aluminum Rinke for sale there that should be a great deal for someone handy.
Matt
"anti fowl paint"
A paint that keeps birds at bay? Brilliant!
"Free" bottom paint, sweet.... that reminds me my boat needs to be painted! Areas of the world are moving away from copper paints, it will be interesting how this paint performs.
I've seen even within the US some states are going away from copper (Washington). I don't know how much damage the recreational market does, but free of any heavy metals must be good.
Matt
@@mattjohnson6716 I believe Marina Del Ray marina in Los Angeles, Ca chased out ablative paints. I have copper paint on my boat in Long Beach Ca. Some guys in Southern California go to Ensenada Mexico to get the old school, really toxic stuff. It works great but is terrible for the ecosystem.
Bout time!! Lol
Matt really needs to stay behind the camera more LOL
Jess, what a beautiful lady...
I'll thumbs up half of that, haha
Benefits of having 100K followers.... Free bottom paint.
I'd rather have each one watch every week :)
Matt
@@mattjohnson6716 We do!!!! We look forward to your weekly episodes. Love watching the scenery, and learning a bit about boat maintenance. Great job!!!
I found it offensive, borderline spouse abuse when Matt would not stop painting to get Jess a frozen tropical cocktail.
not sure if anyone gives a damn but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my gf these days :)
@Cade Greyson yup, have been watching on Instaflixxer for since november myself :)
Could be the best best $1K investment made by your sponsor! Time will tell.
Ugh. 18 min info commercial
Video is down for me.
Hmmm, I just refreshed it on my computer and it played. Did it give any kind of error message?
Works now, must just be a glitch, all videos on youtube for me were impacted but it worked on my phone. Works on desktop now too. Thanks @@MJSailing
Hi guys...look, I've been watching MJ Sailing for a long time (obviously I have enjoyed your content in the past - I'm still watching), but I have noticed a LOT of just you two talking into the camera lately (e.g. it was almost 10 minutes into this episode before there was any content other than you two talking into the camera). You are both charming, but...maybe more content, and less chatter? Or chatter over video of something actually being done or happening? Just a thought...
