Fast Lane gets a Facelift (with a LOT help from my friends)
Monday, Dec 8.
Bottom is in relatively good condition. Barnacles on Keel and Rudder only. Right side of rudder nearly all paint gone. Extra waterline paint still in good condition. General bottom paint very thin after pressure washing. No paint at the bow, and a few barnacles Keel joint a little cracked, but this is no big deal. Only about 15 blisters, mainly on the port side of the hull just forward of the keel. |
