Boat Maintenance workshop by 1st Mark


Mark Hardy, from 1st Mark, was on hand for our workshop to demonstrate hull repair and polishing techniques – our commodore pre-prepared a sample last Sunday courtesy of a port-starboard incident with Bolton’s Andy Flitcroft – sorry Andy!!
Mark start the preparation, after repairing the hole the previous evening
Most of the gel-coating is done now, just backfilling the gunwale damage
Mark and Carrie were on hand to explain the array of polishes and cleaning fluids available from a chandler near you! They had pre-prepared an Optimist to demonstrate the benefits of cleaning, polishing and waxing.
All filled, smoothed, polished and fettled…..

Thanks to Mark and Carrie for a very educational evening, we all learn a lot of useful tips, and also some of our potential limitations!
