Hull Anti-Fouled - 28th May 2022

Early start today, headed off to the boat at 0600 to get the Hull tapped up and Anti-Fouled with Hempel Tiger Extra. When I arrived there was a 1986 Sealine 305 Stateman next to us which was lifted yesterday. Nearly done with the exterior work just the starboard leg to go. Hopefully the new Port leg will arrive in the next couple of weeks so we can get back to the water.

Port Side Compound Cut and Polished - 23rd May 2022

The weather held out, so headed to the boat for a second day to complete the compound cut back and polish of the Port Side of the boat up to the upper split line. Next job is to antifoul the hull then I need to take on the difficult bit of polishing the wheel house.

Great shine on the Port Side
Verp happy with the end result

Upper Wheel House and Foredeck now need doing

 Managed to get to the boat today and started the 2000 micron compound cut the hull then polished with Auto Glym the Starboard side up to the upper split line facing. Weather permitting hopefully do the Port Side tomorrow.

Refit Started - 6th May 2022

 Finally got to the boat today and started the refit for the season, cleaned up the trim tabs and removed old anodes. Cleaned the Port Drive off and sprayed with caustic spray to remove worm casts and deposits, then rubbed down and primed. Cleaned under rear transom and staining around the boat at water level. Cleaned off the remaining fouling left on the hull by the yard.
