Back to warp drive

[foxgoose]

Had a quick lift and pressure wash today.

Straight up to Brixham at 32 knots (compared with 19 max last week).

There wasn't even a lot of weed growth - just a thick layer of black/green slime.

I wouldn't have believed it could make that difference.

95 quid well spent!

Good init.

I had mine done last week, back up from 25 to 32, woo hoo.




For sale, 1970 Triumph Spitfire-sold, 1947 Lambretta, 1922 Great grandmother, PM for details.

Nice one - great feeling isn't it. Thick skin of barnacles had me on 8-9 knots pre-scrub. One quick powerwash later, 32 knots up. Best £55 spent this season.

I'm having mine done today. Its the first year of having a semi displacement hull so it'll be interesting if it will make the same difference as it did on the planing fairling I used to have. I'm not vcurrently suffering much lose of speed - just this dragging feeling in the water which must be affecting the speed but maybe I just got used to doing 15kts everywhere??
