Are you insulting my crapamaran? I mean, catamaran? :) Actually, the oxalic acid seems to work well on the brown stains. I got some at my local Ace Hardware. It does, however, have a deleterious affect on the decal striping on the hull.
The issue now are the "footprints" of the lichens and woodvine. I may have to compound/polish it off. Actually, I'm thinking the next owner can do it. I'm thinking someone at the FWYC needs a beach cat. Dennis C.
