The primer coat is on, and the boat already looks better than it did
with the 23 year old gelcoat.

I'm using a paint that is not that well known here in the Pac NW. It's
called ALEXSEAL, and it's made in Germany by a company that also makes
the paints they use for commercial jets. (Mankiewicz). They have been
around for about 100 years, and the yacht paint division has been
developed by a guy who used to be the head of U.S. Paint and has an
excellent reputation in yacht finishing.

A link for anybody with an interest in knowing more about the paint:

A lot, I'm sure. The paint was included in the total "paint job"
portion of the contract.

I've been assured that this is the up and coming thing in high-end
paints, and the spin looks impressive. Most of the firms previous
paints have been used with very good success on industrial equipment
and aircraft, which are both pretty tough applications.

So, where are da pitchers?

Last time I tried to post pictures to an alternate site and supply a
link for viewing them the entire process overwhelmed my substandard
com-pew-tator skills and several people were very annoyed. My highly
advanced internet service, A-holes on Line, doesn't allow access to the
photo site that most of the folks in thie NG use.

If you have the bucks for a high class paint job, you have the bucks for
a better ISP.

They *do* have Comcast out there. Two of my brothers in the area have it
and like it.

Harry, did you see my offer for your contribution to the breast cancer
foundation?
