The problem...
Ships and boats are frequently exposed to combinations of sunlight, rain, saltwater, wind and other negative effects of the environment. This can result in dried and discoloured decks and other wood surfaces along with hairline cracks and crazing of gel coats. Do not give the weather a chance!

Deck and wood refurbishment

A well maintained teak deck is always noticed on board a sailboat or motor yacht. However, due to effects of the environment and pollutants in the atmosphere, deck surfaces and other exposed wood becomes dirty and unattractive. This can be prevented by a timely application of COELAN Boat Coating to cover all exposed wood surfaces. Any solid wood, plywood or composite wood construction can be protected. High quality COELAN Boat Coating can be applied to boat decks, spars, hatch covers, railings and many other above the waterline surfaces. Simply sand the working surface with #80 grade sandpaper, vacuum thoroughly and apply a coat of the appropriate COELAN Boat Primer. This is followed by several layers of our polyurethane based liquid polymer coating until a minimum finished coating thickness of 1 mm. / 0.04 in. is achieved. The restored deck or wood surfaces will not only look new but be protected from the elements for many years with little if any touch up required. Upon the laying of new teak decks, an immediate application of COELAN Boat Coating is always highly recommended.

Fiberglass (GRP) boats and surfaces can also take advantage of the unique and high quality properties of COELAN Boat Coating. Again, due to effects of exposure and heavy use, the surfaces begin to develop hair line cracks, crazing and overall chalking and fading of colour. If this is the case then a surface refurbishment is urgently needed to prevent further and potentially more costly damage from occurring. COELAN Boat Coating can be applied with any one of 12 factory colours to match existing coloured surfaces or create decorative areas.

New Textured Deck Coverings

COE L A N L amel l ar Dec k Pro c es s By the combining of COELAN Boat Coating with EPDM granules a textured and very long wearing deck surface can be created. The mixture is applied by use of a spatula and when desired a deck plank like appearance can be created. The finished surface is not only long wearing but skid proof and extremely weather resistant. The COELAN Lamellar Deck Process is a highly recommended and most cost effective solution to provide a safe and durable coating for above and below deck surfaces on board working commercial vessels. COE S H IP D ec k C o ati n g Pro c es s For an easy to maintain and durable coloured deck coating, try our COELAN Coeship Process. Select one of 3 standard colour flakes schemes and mix with COELAN transparent coating. You can be creative and combine different flakes to design a personal or company oriented deck covering. The Coeship Process is easy to apply and highly weather resistant.

COELAN Boat Coating can be applied to steel and aluminum vessels or surfaces on top of any intact corrosion protection or any defect free existing coating product. The metal surface refurbishment is easily accomplished by selecting one of the 12 standard colours and mixing with COELAN Boat Coating transparent then applying by brush, roller or spray.

COELAN Boat Coating is a versatile, highly weather proof and top quality product and is not just for deck application. Many surfaces and materials can take advantage of COELAN Boat Coatings unique properties. As a result, demanding boat owners and builders are realizing substantial long term surface protection and extended maintenance intervals. All of this translates into boat owner savings due to reductions in repetitive maintenance labour and material costs.

Applications wood, steel, aluminum and fiberglass (GRP) surfaces. for dinghies, rub rails, fenders, cushions etc. multiple uses in and around the boat and home. optional non skid surfaces are easy to create and apply coloured and matte (silk finish) coatings are available. apply textured or colour pattern coatings using EPDM granules or Colour Flakes.

COELAN Boat Coating is also for dinghies

It is generally understood that dinghies and boating fenders are not resistant to oil, fuel, solvent and UV light. This can lead to an undesirable appearance and costly breakdown of the rubber material. Inflatable dinghies are often carried on davits or secured on deck. As a result the exposed rubber or fabric surface is subject to damage caused by the combined effects of the environment, UV light, sand and abrasion from tie downs and the deck. The application of COELAN Boat Coating to fully inflated dinghies and fenders not only restores the colour or appearance of the rubber surface but provides extended service life due to the coatings high elasticity (over 300%) and abrasion resistance.

Refu rb ishing t he t hree m as t ed s c hooner EENDRACH T.

EENDRACHT
The current SV Eendracht was launched as a three masted schooner in 1989 with the expressed purpose of making long distance ocean sailing adventures available for everyone; in particular the young. This is the second training vessel named Eendracht as the original was launched in 1974 in a two masted configuration. The original ship had sailed in excess of 260,000 nautical miles over a 15 year period at the time of her replacement. The SV: Eendracht sails under the patronage of The Dutch Tall Ship Sailing Foundation. Since 2003 with its home port in Rotterdam the 510 ton, 59 meter long, three masted Eendracht is an impressive and powerful site when under full sail. On board there are accommodations for 56 people with a qualified full time crew of 13. The Eendracht is available for private charter as well as being a sailing school training ship. Every year more than 1000 passengers experience the excitement of open ocean sailing on board Eendracht. Due to these high passenger traffic loads and the long term effects of the weather and ocean environment, it was evident that a refurbishment and application of a durable surface protection was needed. A decision was made in 1996 to apply COELAN Boat Coating on all appropriate surfaces. By doing so the Eendracht not only presents a renewed and seaworthy appearance but achieves durable protection from the day to day consequences of working the ship and long term effects of the weather.

The training ship SV DEUTSCHLAND.

Today, the sail training ship Deutschland is the only remaining fully rigged sailing ship representing the maritime history of Germany. Between 1927 and 1939 the training ship Deutschland completed numerous long distance voyages including 17 open ocean training passages. The Deutschland can be found in its home port of Bremen Vegesack where it is open to visitors and is available for charter and special occasion functions. Given the high volume of visitors and the 70 year age of this tall ship there has been noticeable wear and stress on the Oregon pine deck and other teak wood components. In order to provide a durable and protective covering that would stand up to the effects of wear and tear from the visitors and the marine environment, it was decided by the ships managing director, Mr. W. Dominik, and the ships master, Mr. I. Mueller-Fellmett, to refurbish the vessel with COELAN Boat Coating. This was accomplished in 1999 and at the same time the many brass fittings were thoroughly polished and also coated with COELAN Boat Coating to prevent the tarnishing of those metal parts. Since that time the training ship continues to be the center of attraction not only because of its significant maritime history but also due the visually pleasing effect of the COELAN application. This very special ship continues to draw large crowds and the SV Deutschland remains a must see for all of those who are friends of tall ships
