Steve, No need to scrub topsides. A gallon sprayer, mean green cleaner and some bleach will do the trick. Mix cleaner, some bleach in the sprayer. Spray down topsides, let sit, drink a cool drink and then clean with pressure washer. Ta Dah! Soft scrub works best for those pesky spider droppings. Rummy In a message dated 6/28/2013 11:24:59 A.M.

A big plus was how easy she heaves to under mainsail alone which many boats will not do. I hove to for about an hour in 15kts to scrub topsides and have lunch and she didn't move much at all. Maybe the long keel helps here. P062713_1127.jpg ----- Fair winds and following seas .....
