The boat came out for it's annual anti-foul yesterday and I was eager to see how it had faired over the last twelve months.
The yard that looks after my boat puts on two coats of Altex 5 as standard. Because Missus has been crook this last year I've
had to leave the boat unused longer than I would normally do, although I didn't leave it longer than 3 weeks.
I was pleasantly surprised at how clean the hull was, not perfect of course but better than ninety five per cent. Not so the prop.
Despite Propspeed the propeller was a mess with a clump of oyster sitting on the hub. The blades were a little better, probably
fifty percent fouled but I had endevoured to turn the prop as often as I could over the last year. The yard told me the prop needs
to be turned more even if it's done on the mooring but of course that won't happen if I can't get to the boat. However, I'm
happy with the performance of the Altex 5.
