The marina already thinks we're loopy as we've just cut the back off our boat and built an extension. Now we're telling them that we can get lifted out, antifoul the boat with 2 coats and get her back in inside 2 days. Oh, and it's forecasting rain!


Why is it that even if you only antifoul every two years, like we do, it still seems too often??!

Loads of thanks to Helen and Harvey who donned gimp suits and helped us paint her!

Jay the gimp! :)

There she goes, all clean and tidy again for another couple of years. Easy, wasn't it! (well, except for the MPX line going all bubbly and horrible and peeling off. We used a different brand this year and it didn't work at all well. So we painted over it with the normal antifoul and hoped for the best.
We've used Tiger antifoul which we've not used before, so we'll see how that goes.)
It's fair to say she definitely needed doing!
