After glow

A new Black Antifouling Paint from International Paints Ray Jones Drive Cairns . After 2 years of seatime .

A team of seven dusted off the 2 year old barnacled bottom with careful precision on the first day at the historic Sth Townsville Slipways. Hiho-

Its off to work we went for a further 5 days until the ordeal was complete..

6 days on the Hard and we got her bottom smooth again.

Tight as the Drums of MER ,and thanks to 5 drums of International Interswift anti-fouling protection.
