“Why We Roll” – Epifanes Poly-urethane Rocks The Roller!

Epifanes Roll On

Feb 11, 2021

Who could have imagined it would get this easy? With Epifanes Poly-urethane yacht coatings, all it takes is rolling and it rolls beautifully — with a four-inch, high-density foam roller and without all the painstaking overspray protection that spray painting requires or the double-fisted duty of rolling and tipping.

The crew at Epifanes headquarters in Thomaston, Maine has always known that all you needed was a good roller and good paint. Epifanes paint can deliver incredible results: a head-turning glassy finish — on fiberglass, wood, aluminium, or steel. And the painting was easy. More recently, Epifanes took their rolling demo on the road, meeting with professional applicators who quickly shared their enthusiasm and took the roll-only technique in-house.

Prep work? Full disclosure: There’s no escaping the importance of superior and thorough surface prep. Sorry. The work of refinishing lies in the pre-painting effort—and Epifanes will reward your prep work like no other paint. Once you put the roller into the paint tray, the rest is pretty simple. Just keep it going. Be consistent. Maintain a wet edge and work quickly, but don’t rush the job. Be smooth. You’ll see the beauty of your labours immediately. Amazingly, that beauty will deepen as the leveling properties in the paint take effect. As the Epifanes coating cures, a glassy finish appears as a rich gloss with mirror-like reflection. What’s more – and this is a significant plus – unlike spraying, rolling Epifanes puts more paint on the boat. That greater mil thickness gives you a tougher, more resilient layer of colour that resists scratches and lasts longer.

Ready to rock your masterpiece? You can do this! Watch Rolling Epifanes Poly-urethane on YouTube for a detailed, step-by-step demo, and look for Epifanes Poly-urethane at your favourite marine store. Got questions? Give them a call at 705-527-9612 or toll-free at 1-800-269-0961.

Nimbus 365 Coupe – A real long-stay cruising boat for exploring

By Andy Adams

There is no shortage of fun and exciting new boat designs hitting the market, but for the last few years these have been mainly outboard-powered day boats. Some are day cruisers; some are centre console fishing boats or designed for tow sports. A new live-aboard cabin boat has become a rare item these days.

So when I heard that Pride Marine in Orillia, Ontario, had a Nimbus 365 Coupe in the water, I jumped at the chance to get out on it.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
