I've seen sport boats go completely 90* to clean their bottoms but I wanted to know if a slightly larger boat can do this as well. My
rigging, to me, seems a bit on the light side and I didn't want something to let go while I was in the water next to it.
Boat is a Merit 25. Mast height is about 34' with a 4' draft. So 38' total "lever length"? 1050lbs in her keel.
I know I can hire I diver, but I do race a lot and being able to clean my own bottom not only saves money, but I know I'll do a good job. Can my
rig support a 45* angle for 40 minutes per side?
