I am in the process of cleaning the bottom and winged keel to the base. I will then be adding primers, base coats and then an anti-fouling coat. My question is how to paint the area's blocked by the bunker/cradle? Boat is sitting on its trailer.
...on my C-22 was paint the bottom excluding the area under the supports. Then lower the front of the trailer as much as possible and put a support under the stern. I built one that fit the curve of the hull out of wood. Then raise the front of the trailer and support the bow with another support. Then lower the trailer and take some air out of the tires. I could get enough clearance to get a roller between the boat and the trailer with no problems. Let the paint dry and reverse the process. Jim "Prospect"
...There are lots of posts on this topic. Personally, I found it MUCH easier to pay the yard guys $100 to pick my H23 up from its trailer, and put it on stands. There are just too many spots between the trailer and boat that are hard to get to... but on the stands, you have easy access to (almost) the entire bottom. If there's a boat yard within a reasonable distance from your house, that's the way to go. --Jon Bastien H23 '2 Sheets to the Wind' H25 'Adagio'
