We had our new-to-us sailboat painted with Micron CSC on Dec 2nd 2020.
It's been sitting in the slip for nearly 4 months now and there is a blackish "scum" on the blue paint now. In May the boat will move to the mooring behind the house for regular sailing.
Is simple sailing enough to get this black slim growth to sluff off or should we hire someone to dive and scrub the bottom before sailing starts? If cleaning is generally considered a worthwhile activity, do most hire someone or use a DIY pvc type scrubbing pad setup that I have seen from time to time?
All thoughts appreciated.
