Ref galvanized hull, Amber Rose Too had a cold galvanized hull. She was built in 1991 and shock horror when we sold her the surveyor said it had the best bottom he had ever seen, just saying. Phil Ah but, there is a world of difference between painting with zinc rich paint (cold galvanising) and hot dip galvanising.... I had our skeg dipped, I am expecting it to outlast me ππ Mine was glass blasted and zingered whis is lasting very well, its supposed to last 25 years, I still take the boat out and keelblack it every couple of years because I hit things and damage the coating! have to say though the light rust is confined to the scrape no creep at all

Was it your first time using Keelblack? And when will you be pulling the boat out to see the results? Keelblack never replied to my e-mail asking about their product. How rude.

Like Jim riley it was the second time for me and my mate John, both boats were ok and I will be using it again next year

I spoke to them on the phone, they were very informative. Maybe it's just you. What did you ask them? Where did you cnp your email from, did they just think you were a crank, a dodgy migrant?

I found Keelblack helpful and informative First time use for me and it will be a couple more years before I can see how it lasted. (I also sometimes hit things but it's a bit more expensive to drydock Sabina than a nb or a canal wb)
