Claymore Comes Out

Post by claymore »

Yesterday
15% anode wear since Easter

Hull powerwashed off and looks wonderful.

Despite my £10:00 investment in lanolin, the prop was completely barnacled up.
So much for that old failed sage Shard's advice.....

maybe if the prop had turned a couple of times there'd have been fewer barnacles?
