Now, a Pearly White.

Removing the residue of the symbols and lettering on the vessel was more tasking than polishing the entire clear hull twice. It was done over three days to sustain a good quality finish without damaging the vessel or equipment. The residue required shifting with repeated application of the polisher and heavy duty wash and wax solution, to lift it from the hull.

There was perminant staining on the stern transom. The heat of the sun had burned in discolouring on the GRP under the vynol lettering.

As the staining would not be moved with the polisher, the first option was to leave it. The slight yellow however, revealed the lettering of the previous name which might confuse crew or other people. It was better to hide or remove it.

The second option was to cover the transom in a coloured vynol: white, black, or green, it wouldnt matter, as long as the name was covered. This was attractive at the possibility of including a design of some kind, like a mermaid or red lips, at the placing of it.

The third option is most practical and the one to be used if possible: this is to place a new panel on the transom with the ladder removed to insert a gate door stern entrance.
