I had my fine, blue water sailing yacht hauled last week and applied three
gallons on Trinidad Pro bottom paint. It amounts to six coats on the
high-wear areas along the LWL, rudder and keel and four coats everywhere
else.

Here are a few photos that show the very clean and ultra-fast underwater
design.

After viewing the photos, even you Brit ******s will understand how no boat
with a similar LWL (23-feet) can expect to keep up with 'Cut the Mustard'..
You lazy sailors with your big diesels and big props dragging through the
water lack a knot or two compared to my real sailboat configuration. I
sailed back to my mooring in the company of a 1975, Dufour 30 - the one with
the five-foot draft and racy bulb keel - and I put her hull down in an hour
under working sail in 12-15 knots of wind on a reach. And the Dufour is
supposed to be a fast boat.

P.S. A special note to Capt. Joe of "Red Cloud" infamy. Where's the photos
of "Red Cloud's" new bottom paint? LOL!

That's an ugly little cheap looking day sailor Neal. And whats with
the clunky heavy dink? That thing is half as big as cut the cheese.

Here is the new bottom paint picture you are obsessed over.

Had over 18,000 people look at RedClouds pictures there and almost
20,000 hits on You tube.
Could you post a link to the purple interior and plastic clocks again?
Also it looks like you cheap plastic ports are crazing. You can do a
port fix on par to your boom repair and use saran wrap.

I will post some pictures of the Why Me bottom job soon, I'm going to
pull her out soon.
Have to re-calk all the teak decks too. Going to replace the counter
tops in the galley and both heads, mount the LED TV and install a
larger water heater. Also have to tune up the twin 327's hard to get
her faster than 30kts now. Biggest problem is getting rid of 300
gallons of gasoline thats to old to use. Any suggestions?
