This is a two part query about doing the bottom of a sailboat by a first-timer.
The high pressure spray that removed the previous saltwater growth of 1.5 years (during the survey in July) also removed part of the protective coat of anti-fouling that was left. I thought I would get around to re-doing the bottom this past summer/fall. It didn’t happen. Now I'm approaching winter and contemplating a haul-out in November (in rainy Vancouver) or waiting until spring. But I’m not sure how much more work would be involved by putting it off until spring. Would like to hear some other opinions on this. I also have a marina telling me soda blasting is the way to go. And based on the hell that is involved with a project like this, my lack of time and the weather, I’m contemplating it.
