Hi, it is always a question if it is suitable to talk about money. Anyway, i will do it. When you stop working and not earning any money, you have to ask yourself some questions: -How much will i spent? -What do i have to pay? -What insurances does one need? -How long can this go? -Should i keep any savings or spend it all :-) ? Well to maintain the right to get back in my old insurance i have to pay around 70EUR per month, of course without the ability to claim anything.

This was LinoCat out on the dry. Be aware that if there is huge boat behinf which they are spraypainting that your boat will partly be painted too :-) Here you can see very well that the paint IS blue under the green stuff and the growth around the blackwater outlet. YUCK Another picture showing the growth around the saildrive and also a missing coverpart. I have no clue for how long this was actually missing and also i do not know if i should replace it. The original antifouling coming out after using the high pressure washer. The old one was Zaragoza and the new will be a hard selfpolishing Jotun one. The...
