I'm in New Zealand so this is the time of year to get it done,
although I may have left it a bit late.

I'll give the car polish a go this weekend and see what I can buff up
on the topsides, but it's had a good thrashing over the years (the
last ownser was a Team NZ crew member) and it could do with a fresh
coat of paint.

I thought you were up here. In that case my advice would be to put it
off until next April. Just wash it down, slap on some bottom paint and
go sailing. If you try to do it now you will miss the whole season or
try to rush the job and not be as happy as if you took your time.

I like that idea, it's almost summer and I can't wait to get on the water.
