Bottom painting
However, my quick-and-dirty solution to the annual "missed-a-spot"
problem with ablative paint is alternating between having blue and red below the waterline. Makes it pretty obvious, either color looks OK on a white hull, and I try not to sail upside down anyway. We use a wear indicator on our ablative bottom paint. The bottom is first painted black and then covered with blue to go with the white hull and red boot stripe. (I grew up in New England and that was a traditional paint scheme.) We run until a large percentage of black is showing through and then go for a haulout and do it all over again. The boat is in the south and we boat year round. Leanne S/V Fundy |
