 ROUTINE MAINTAINANCE & TLC LIFTING THE BOAT



So when you give a boat a good old thrashing now and then you got to look after her. But all work and no play makes skipper and crew not so happy so we squeezed in a days fun.

After journeying  over from Ballycastle , up the River Bann , to Coleraine , we run through a bit of Maintainance on the " Just Because " Craning the Boat out of the water and Power washing the Hull , and giving it various treatments before anti-fouling it , Varnish the Hand Rails and Tiller Hull Treatment  and Yes goes without saying A Bit of Fun
