Earlier in the year we had everything below the waterline cleaned . It was professionally done and 2 coats of primer were applied to her hull and the keels with 2 coats of Anti fouling added. We were very pleased with how she looked after the job - which wasn't cheap.

Yesterday we were fitting her out prior to launching next week, and i noticed some spots of rust on the starboard keel. I contacted the firm who did the job and asked was this not a bit soon to be seeing rust, since it was earlier this year the job was done. They replied that it had been out of the water since October and the primer was only effective for so long and in any case they had a similar job and the spots were 'surface rust'.
I wondered what folks thoughts might be as to whether or not my expectation that it would be clean for a wee while longer, is unreasonable and if anyone has heard of 'surface rust'?
