I need help!! I kept my boat in the water during the Spring and Summer and when I pulled it out to store for the Winter I was astonished to find the bottom of the boat covered with BARNACLES ! I guess that's the price you pay for the convience of not having to launch ever time you want to go sailing. Anyway......
Has anyone had the experience of cleaning barnacles off the bottom ? What should I use (or not use) to scrape them off. Should I worry about damaging the bottom of the boat. Is there any way to prevent them in the future ? (other then the obvious of not keeping the boat in the water - which I'm considering.)
