Default Happy camper with iron keel

Unless he's sailing *all the time* ablative paint dies on the surface. It only comes off and
stays fresh when underway. (self scrubbing - Duh!) It's better for power boats because they go
fast enough to keep the paint scrubbed and fresh. Sailboats don't go fast enough and they don't
get used enough. So there! :-)

Cheers,
Ellen
