Where do you get this spray-on polyvinyl alcohol?

And as far as Rick not washing hulls, why do you think he married me? He knew that I had been trained by my father, from an early age, to wash the bottom of the boat every time before racing. When we had our Lightning, which was kept in the water all season, we had to use a long-handled scrub brush to clean the bottom every Sunday before racing. When we got our Shark catamaran and dry-sailed it, we had to wash the hulls with detergent every Sunday.

With both boats we pretty much always won, so I figured it had something to do with washing the hulls. Maybe I was just being brainwashed, by my father and later by Rick, but I have always been convinced that washing helps. I have washed more hulls in my day than probably any living sailor.
