Gunnar Christensen, competing in the Golden Globe Race, manually removed gooseneck barnacles from the hull of his boat while drifting in the doldrums.4:22:38 To perform the cleaning, he used a small inflatable raft tethered to the boat’s jack lines, which allowed him to remain pinned against the hull while scraping the growth with the hard edge of a brush.4:23:43 He focused on the area from midship to the transom, noting that the barnacles were particularly dense near the rudder and the Hydrovane mount.5:21:54 The process required significant physical effort and posed safety risks, including potential head injuries from protruding gear and a calf muscle strain during re-boarding.4:26:34 Christensen utilized the raft as a step to climb back onto the deck, finding it more efficient than the boat's emergency boarding ladder.5:26:04 He reported that his bottom paint, applied in August, failed to prevent the infestation.4:34:03 He considered shifting to the Chichester class if the drag significantly impacts his performance in the Southern Ocean.4:50:33
