Christopher Barr joined the Royal Air Force at 17 years old, kindling his addiction to travelling and adventure. In 2006 he started working at sea as a ROV Pilot Technician. Since then he has worked in various parts of the world including Greenland, Mexico, Tunisia, Russia and the Middle East, as well as the familiar North Sea where he has experienced 10 metre waves and hurricane-force winds. Chris loves sailing and has a YouTube channel, Random Chris, which aims to help and inspire others to lead a life less ordinary. He currently spends around half of each year at sea.

In this video I share the technique I use to save money by carrying out underwater hull cleaning myself. The key here is the kind of paint used. Save yourself a fortune on haul-outs and keep your boat in use all year round!
