(San Diego, CA)- J/70s are sailing in areas notorious for having weed & kelp issues.
Lightweight, quick-to-deploy carbon sticks are often a great answer to
the difficult issue of getting weed/kelp off the bottom of the rudder
and the keel where the "weed whacker" doesn't reach. For places like
New England, California and lakes like Minnetonka, SD Boatworks has come
up with an elegant solution- the J/70 carbon fiber kelp/ weed stick.
Here's a Youtube video of how it works on the rudder and when you lie
down on your stomach next to the shrouds, you can use this to also get
rid of weed on the bottom of your keel!
