Louis commented on the post, Grunt Boat Cleaner – A FULL REVIEW 1 month ago
A lot of the caravans that iv’e come across seem to use a simlliar gelcoat/ topcoat to the the one found on on most GRP boats. On my Seamaster 950 which is polyester GRP it didn’t cause any damage and did a good job of protecting the area for what seemed like a good year after. The non slip area was very well cleaned without removing any paint.…[Read more]

Louis replied to the topic Creating Stabilising Legs – · 11 July 2020 in the forum Restoring Merganser 9 months ago
Hey Marc, for the non-sailors out there, can you explain what is you’re doing with the legs? Love the idea. My motor cruiser is the semi-displacement single keel, so the thought of grounding out in the channel terrifies me, obviously I have no intention in letting it happen! Not having bilge keels, is a definite con. Are the legs to be used on…[Read more]
