Our First Go at Prop Speed and Antifoul – Can We Match the Pros? (Ep.62) | Sailing ARGO

Now the real haul-out work begins. After the sail drive drama in Episode 61, it’s time to get stuck into the big maintenance jobs underneath ARGO. First up we give the hulls a proper clean to remove staining before Jason tackles sanding the hulls himself – all in preparation for applying fresh antifoul. Then comes a first for us: applying Prop Speed to the sail drives and props. With a professional job happening on the boat next door, Jason suddenly has a benchmark… and he reckons his result might actually be better. We also start tackling a few other jobs while ARGO is on the hard: • Applying the first coat of antifoul • Installing water tank senders so we finally know exactly how much water we have onboard • Starting repairs on the diesel tanks (which has turned into a much bigger job than expected - of course it did) • Getting the tramps repaired It’s a busy haul-out and the learning curve has been steep – but incredibly satisfying. In the next episode, we'll finish the diesel tank repairs, fix soft spots in the deck, and get ARGO ready to head back into the water. Stay tuned for that one! Thanks for watching.
