You all know about this: When your boat is out of the water you see what happened to your hull. And most likely you mention to yourself that it would be time to redo the antifouling. Probably you wonder whether some mending work will be enough or whether you should remove everything that has been put onto the hull over the years, scratch off everything until you can see the original gel coat again and make it all new.

You may then decide to mend it once again and do the major refit of the bottom next year, because we all know what kind of job this is.

Anyway, the time will come when no excuse will allow another "next year".

For Dido's bottom the end of the last season was the point where to make a fundamental decision: everything on the bottom had to be removed and something new had to be applied. Thus, this raised two questions. First: How to remove the old stuff both entirely and conveniently (if one might hope that there could be any kind of "convenience" in that sort of work). Second: What antifouling to put on Dido's hull then?

Finally we have uploaded new photos, both of our spring trip 2010 and our summer vacation 2010.
