What this video covers

Three methods for cleaning a boat's hull are demonstrated.Watch Method one uses a boatyard crane to haul the vessel out of the water.0:05 Method two involves beaching the boat on a ramp or sandy shore at high tide, then waiting for the tide to drop — ideally timed to a full moon, when the tidal range is greatest — so the hull rests dry on the sand and can be scraped and cleaned by hand.0:18 Method three is underwater cleaning while the boat remains afloat, using a scraper or spatula to remove growth from below the waterline.0:44 The full-moon timing detail is the key practical note: a spring tide produces a significantly lower low water, giving more hull exposure and easier access.0:27 No specific boat, location, or product is named in the demonstration.
