Ballast

Featured Replies

Hi

I’ve seen this somewhere, but can I find it? Sailing my DF95 in a gravel pit the ballast comes in for a bit of hammer when coming ashore. Does anyone have any tips for getting it back into pristine condition - within class rules?

For clarity, I’m really asking what sort of paint would you use and would a metal primer be required (once you’ve waded out to it)?

Rub bac k with 320 grade w/d

Normal car plastic padding type  paste in all dints and dents.

Rub back and go don through grades of w/d paper to get desired finish

Spray a coat or two of primer

Rub back

Spray with cheap car spray paint.

Leave for 2 days then polish

Note !!  Check weight before and after process to make sure no rules are broken.

Sounds good. There does not seem to be any need for a specialist paint, so it’s an easy fix.

We now launch and recover from a floating pontoon so, once the bulb is restored, it will never touch bottom again.

‘Bye wellies!!
