On the Eastern Shore, a local J-80 was dry sailed. If she was launched for a Wednesday race, she needed a quick 'floss' (dragging a bed sheet from side to side) for Saturday. Last year, we (another J-80) had one year old Vivid and a diver every other week - noticed some drag so had the diver come weekly, which we also did on our 30-1 with year old Hydrocoat. We are hoping fresh Hydrocoat SR will last two weeks and the same with some fresh Vivid on the 80. We got a deal on diving because I moved Penniless next to the 80 so the diver could get two at a time.
If all this doesn't make sense, the ex-Admiral sails the 30 and I crew on an 80 and race the 30 on some Sundays.

If you dive and have Wednesdays free you can pick up some good money! J30 class rules prohibit dry sailing, and no one dares go bare.

It is the #1 recommended paint for overall effectiveness / durability in these here parts.. I'm not in salt water (But I am in a warm climate that is very conducive to slime) so far (1 year) it lives up to the hype and the bottom is completely slime / growth free / smooth / fast. Trinidad is not an ablative, it's modified epoxy hard paint that burnishes to a really smooth finish if you're so inclined (And your rotator cuffs can stand the abuse.. OUCH). I am told that if you are in an area where you have to haul-out in the winter, a light sanding or bronze wool burnishing in the spring will re-activate / supercharge the growth killing copper action. -Francois Rivard 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, GA Subject: Re: Stus-List bottom paint Message-ID: <tgspjckrf3vlhjhi43dki3qq.1426045522...@email.android.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" I used the Micron ablative paints in South Florida about 11 years ago. They're not good for the subtropics. Growth is quick, and the bottom is near impossible to clean in the water, unless you like being covered in toxic chemicals. Petite Trinidad is the way to go here.
