You've seen the Backyard Blitz. Today we had a Bottom Blitz. In a little over four hours the full Trouble crew scraped and sanded her back to bare hull below the water line, ready for new primer, tie-coat and antifoul. We sought some advice re the flaking patches on her bottom, and decided to go the whole hog and redo the lot.
The regulars at the BYC were amazed that a) the whole crew were there working; and b) that we kept going till it was done. Well done and many thanks to Tom, Jules, Rohan, Sunny, Gaz and Mike! What a team - no wonder we win a few races!
tie coat, ready for antifouling. Have been trying to source a decent white hard racing antifoul, but the only good one (Pettit via Taspaints, as used on the Farr 40s) is not available at the moment. International white antifoulings go green around the waterline and look pretty daggy, so might have to stay with dark blue. Pity!
