Late summer hull scrub does magic!

 I’ve been a bit busy this summer and I have not done any hull cleaning.  Minor wipe / brush of the underwater hull to help out the anti-fouling paint.  A little bit does wonders for boat speed.   On racing we started consistently coming in dead last.  I found a healthy growth of algea and a few small barnacles when I snorkeled it with wetsuit and a brush.  

The next 2 weeknight races went a lot better.  1st or 2nd place.  Boat is in the pack again.  Yay!

Last year I was a bit better about brushing with a pole regularly and got in the water once.

See the difference here.  I cleaned the hull between race 6 and 7.  Summer 2023 race results
