Life is Like Sailing - Haul Out - Part 8

In this episode I get the final two coats of anti-fouling paint on. Things get pretty messy when you are on the hard when you have to spend all your time on the projects that need to be done so I start doing some general clean up. I also measured the draft of the boat because of conflicting numbers I have seen (5 ft-10 inches and 5 ft-11 inches) so I was shocked when I found out it was even more than that! Two possible explanations are that the keel is either longer than the average or that the added weight put onto the boat over the years has the boat sitting lower in the water. Regardless, it is nice to know exactly what the boat draft is. You also get a sneak peek at the 'Head Systems Upgrade-Part 2' project! www.lifeislikesailing.com www.facebook.com/lifeislikesailing
