Osmosis - hull killer? - Sailboat maintenance Ep 241

Checking your boat hull is the first thing to do when you haul out. That includes examining the state of the anti-foul, inspecting the prop, cutlass bearing and anodes and checking the rudder. If it is a fibreglass hull, look for signs of osmosis. And before you start work, ensure that the boat is supported properly. Part two of our new sailing boat maintenance series…
