Wally Feaver had this,-  about, what?-  fifty foot type motor cruiser and he’d say to us lads,  “Can you come and give us a hand, nipper?  We want to do the underside of the boat  – anti fouling.’  We laid on the mud, absolutely covered in stuff.  Cor, what a job!  Because there were these huge great bilge keels on it, and you had to slide up in between them.  Les Turner b1944
