Have you guys ever sailed a dirty hull
Posted by: onnopaddle on Dec-02-12 8:17 PM (EST)

then cleaned it and sailed again ? Night and day difference. Plastic boats are more effected than composite BC the 'hairs' stick out into flow. A few scratches cleaned up not gonna notice, but if your boat looks like it wallowed across oyster beds for a week then it will be noticeably improved in speed and glide by shaving or melting this stuff off.
