Hi Guys. Thought some of you might be interested in our recent little job on our SO45 where we had the bottom blasted off by ARC (antifoul removal company) in Southampton. They were most reasonable and hard working. I was delighted not to have to do the job myself. We had epoxied the bottom from new and so they took the antifoul off as well as the primer and just touched into the top layer of epoxy. We are planning to coat the bottom with Copper Coat.
This is just one of the jobs for the winter. The others include mast out and stripped down. Some new running rigging, new sheaves too. Bottlescrews off for re-chroming. The binnacles have been removed and these will be re-powder coated as one of them was starting to bubble up a bit where water had got in under the compass (my fault). LED nav lights, new vhf antenna and that's about it. Regards Admiral
