ANTIFOUL SERVICE
Antifoul removal: why completely remove all the antifoul from the bottom of your boat and start the process again?
Antifoul is a very heavy copper based coating, over years of application on the bottom of your vessel the antifoul coatings build up and the surface is no longer smooth and streamline. Overtime this creates a dramatic change in your vessels overall performance.
As the years go by you will notice your boat slowing down and your engine load and fuel burn increasing. This is due to all the weight and friction the antifoul build up is causing.
At Marina Bayside we often undertake this process on behalf of our clients. The difference in performance is very noticeable, often a change in overall speed of 3-5 knots is achieved.
We recommend this process is done every 10 -15 years.

SYDNEY GAME FISHING CLUB TOURNAMENT
Marina Bayside is a proud Sponsor of The Sydney Game Fishing Club’s 2021 Peter Goadby Memorial tournament which was held over the weekend of the 17th and 18th April with a great turn out on both days with 30 registered boats and 10 central zone boats.
The competition got off to a flying start with Gale Force calling in the first fish of the comp; an estimated 100kg striped marlin caught on 15kg line at about 9:00am.
The highlights of the weekend included Geronimo’s capture of a Blue Marlin on 24kg line with a short length of 2.65m that weighed in at 187.3kg. Rage tagged a Black Marlin on 24kg line to angler Luke Page. Anyfin and Mr Pig tagged a Stripe a piece on 24kg line.
The Tag & Release section was tight with three boats tagging two marlin each but ultimately Gale Force won Champion boat tagging one of their fish on 15kg. Runner up boat & third place were decided on a count back. Geronimo of Broken Bay Fishing Club caught the heaviest Blue Marlin, weighing in at 187.3kg on 24kg line - slightly shy of the 225kg target and $10,000 prize! Rampage from Broken Bay took out the prize for capture with a 145kg Blue Marlin on 15kg line and Geronimo was runner up in the category. Champion Female Angler went to Maddy McCure fishing onboard Gale Force and Champion Junior went to Luca Searl.
A great weekend all round!!
