Default Have you all seen . . .

I used Petit Trinidad. I used two gallons which allows me to put eight coats
on the rudder, six coats around the waterline and down a couple of feet,
and four coats everywhere else. It was done towards the end of 2001.

I mixed two little bottles of Super DI-ALL MC-1 mildewcide (active
ingredient tributyltin oxide) into each gallon. The paint is still in pretty
good shape but is wearing a little thin in places because I scrub it
with a scrub brush about once a month after the first year. From a
distance when heeled the bottom looks like it has just been painted.
There is no growth showing mostly because of the scrub brush action.

I can probably get another year out of it but I'm planning on painting
it again this winter.

Here's your chance if you've not had a chance to.

Neal, when was your Bahamas haulout? If I'm right in thinking that you
antifouled using Micron Extra, I'd be very interested to hear how fouled or
not the bottom is.
