Hull re-paint in Spain

[JdeC]

Can anyone recommend a boatyard in Spain or Portugal for painting the hull of a 55ft monohull?

I looked on the Awlgrip website but they only seem to list stockists that sell their paint rather than the companies that would actually do the work.

Thanks

Awlgrip is not a common paint system in Europe. Most boatyards will contract in a painter as few will have the expertise in yard.Jotun is common as is Hempel etc

Well my only experience of a big boat getting an Awlgrip paint job was in a marina called Agua Dulce..
A Dutch couple sailed their classic 12 metre in, had it lifted out onto the hard, washed down and had a scaffolding rigged round the boat.
They then flew two guys fly in from Holland who rolled and tipped her.. A beautiful job it was and a pleasure to watch them work.
Though I must admit my Westerly Longbow was painted with Awlgrip in the UK.
Wonderful stuff.
