Last summer's cold, wet & humid weather combined with the canuba wax to do a fast job of growing black mold-mildew on the waxed fiberglass. Scrubbing it down with some clorox and water removed the mold/mildew.
Wonder if a polymer based wax can compete with canuba when it comes to growing mold-mildew in the New Hampshire summer? I store the boat on top of a dock on a small support where it constantly gets soaked by every incoming wave for May-June-July and maybe August.
It has no name yet so maybe I should name it the 'Moldy Oldy'......not a bad name for a small 13' Wingstar sailboat made in about 1988....plus that will fit on the transom.....and I use those 3" reflective letters from Wal-Mart for about 55 cents each. They work good!
....a little drum role here.....all hands salute! .... rat-ata-tat-tat ... the 'Moldy Oldy' is hereby commissioned ..... in absentia ..... cruising Buoy 3 to Governor's Island and back!
For a 13' boat it has giant white & blue sails & cost $850 last July. When I flip it over .... and I definately will ..... it seems to be a very flippy, hi-performance go-fast sailboat ..... a little assistance will be appreciated from a passing motorboat. (It has no motor.) ....
