Hull washed over completely ready for first coat.
Day 2: Polished props, renewed anodes and applied first coat of antifoul.
Day 3: Sanded off old rubbing strake stain and reapplied new coat.
Day 4: Cut out and replaced rotton straking section by starboard midships cleat.
Day 5: Applied first coat of yatch varnish to rubbing strake. Fitted anodes to prop shafts.
Day 6: Applied second coat of antifoul and second coat of yatch varnish.
Day 7: Washed, polished and cleaned boat.
Day 8: 18th September - Lifted back into the water.
