Hey!
I have a part share in a 18.6 foot (ex trailer sailer) Lidgard yacht. She is moored 24/7 and over time a decent amount of dirt builds up on the bottom. I would just like to know your opinion on how often I should be taking the boat out of the water to sand/paint the bottom? I can just take it to a low tide beach and give it a clean that way but would like to know if it should be fully taken out and re-painted about once a year.
I have been told that it only needs to be done once every 3 years but I'm not too sure if this is correct. Any advice welcome.
Thank you,
Gregor
