Re: bird repellents
A rubber snake or two left on the deck is said to help. I've seen
plastic decoy owls used. I've sillouettes of hawks made from black
sign tape use on windows to stop birds from hitting the glass, might
work on the sides of a boat and could look cool too.
I haven't tried this, but I read that black thread strung around
works.
But I'm pretty sure the ultimate is the old traditional ship'd cat.

We launched our boat, a Pearson 26 one year and did not get the mast
in for almost a month, the boat was covered in bird droppings. We
normally had no problem with this because of the mast and its banging
halyards; my suggestion put something up the mast that makes alot of
noice might be able to loosen the halyard so it bangs more.
