[MHml] Bottom paint for fresh and salt

[Larry Forgy]

At least in the U.S. VC Offshore is a very hard vinal bottom paint, same 
as the old  Baltoplate but in more colors.  In fact, one of the colors 
is called "Baltoplate Grey."  It is popular with many of the racers here 
in Annapolis, and I used it several years on my monohull.  Check with 
Interlux for details

It produces a great finish for racing, but too labor intensive for my 
multi.  Sanding the old paint off to a smooth finish was an arduous 
affair, and the serious racers would sand the new paint down to a 600 to 
800 grit finish and burnish the whole thing.
