Work-on-your-Boat Weekend: 4-5 May 2024
Steven London
Maxim Djura is once again running a boat hull maintenance session on the weekend of the 5th and 6th of May. This is a perfect time to give some love to your boat and get her ready for the next season! The plan is to have enough people there to help with getting boats from their racks and to share materials (flow coat, epoxy glue and other stuff — Maxim will bring these on the day).
Maxim will be at the club from 10 am on both days .
This weekend is for repairs like:
Fixing chips, scratches or cracks in the gelcoat
Replacing deck fittings
Cleaning hull
Rope upgrades
He will bring to share:
Neutral flow coat and white pigment
Epoxy glue
Ronstan gelcoat restorer
White spirit
Sandpaper
Silicone
Gloves, masking tape, etc.

Editor’s note: I, too, will be there. I’ll be bringing a 180 mm power polisher and some polishing compound. This won’t make you any faster, but it will make you shinier!
