Default Antifouling paint...and a piggy-backed topic

No primer under bottom paint.

Ordinarily that would be true...but a primer IS needed if a barrier coat
is needed between incompatible paints.

Btw...I seem to be able to reply but not to post an original topic...so
(off this topic but relevant to the group):

In 1981 my father bought a set of plans from Stevenson Projects, Inc for
the "Weekender Friendship Sloop"--a cockpit trailerable centerboard
sailboat that (according to the literature) sleeps 2 comfortably.
Surprisingly, I discovered that Stevenson is still in business...and
even more surprised to discover that this boat is currently featured on
this website:
http://sailing.about.com/library/wee...htm?once=true&

Dad never built it...in fact, I doubt he ever took the plans out of the
envelope more than a couple of times to dream over it...so they're all
here, along with some additional literature for tarps etc.

Stevenson's own website offers the Weekender plans for $35 including
postage in the US and Canada. I'll even pay the postage to send 'em to
the first person who asks me nicely.
