The state of Blue Eden's hull was nothing short of dire. After tapping a breakwall in Kincardine, it revealed the nightmare hidden underneath the paint, flash rust. The rust had taken over, leaving the boat in desperate need of restoration before actual damage could be done. Without removing the layers of paint and epoxy, Kate and Jeff would not have known how far the rust went. As they found out, flash rust covered 85-95% of the surface. Together they ground the boat down on every inch of the hull, chemically neutralized the rust, and performed meticulous body work, including several coats of primer, epoxy, and paint. Now the 40-year-old hull has been transformed into a stunning masterpiece that will leave anyone in “awe”.
