I don't think one can say 'blacking' these days as it could be deemed racist.

Quite right. Should it be 'bitumening'?

Apply coatings.
This gives all the different types of coatings a chance to be equally represented in a fair and inclusive paint world.

But 'I'm going to apply coatings my hull' doesn't have much of a ring to it. How about 'I'm going to renew the as yet non-specific waterproofing and anti-rust compound formulated to comply with modern rules concerning sustainable water ecology'?
And you could add 'while trying not to think about contamination of most bodies of water as a result of crumbling infrastructure which is the inevitable result of decades of under-investment'.

Boat's been pressure washed now, the hull's in pretty good condition, all things considered. First coat of bitumen going on today. Going to need four new anodes though, so that's another £300 on top of the bill. Break out another thousand. This is our hull 6 years after last blacking, post pressure wash. This is the difference between bitumen and 2-pak

What are those round things? They are decorative rivets. What are those round things on your boat? Oh yes, lumps of rust.

What are those round things? They are quite neatly applied though. Quality.

Laid down in 1986 and launched 1987.
