Raasay sat for a few weeks before being lifted out, and any residual capacity of the anti-fouling to resist growth completely collapsed. The Findhorn estuary has a good freshwater supply, and I though the varying salinity might keep the barnacles at bay, but no:
It has scrubbed off pretty well, but my plan to do a more serious hull preparation before launching in 2021 was pretty much scuppered by the Covid lockdown. The boat has been out of reach for about three months.
I'm a bit worried about the batteries, which have probably discharged. I just hope they haven't frozen.
I invested in a new mainsail this year. I hope I get a chance to use it ...
