Hi Rye & all:

It's probably best to use a pressure washer as soon as you haul out. If you
can get to it before it dries this saves a lot of elbow grease. Years ago
when we traded in our SJ21 for a new Catalina 25 that's what the boatyard
told us. The SJ21 didn't have bottom paint <we were lucky too, no blisters
after a couple years in the Columbia River> and was covered with algae; it
came right off with the pressure washer with little to no residue...
