Tell your 40' Beneteau friend to get some Micron 66 to avoid the annual

Thanks for that, Ken. I'll pass it on to my friend who is trying to
avoid the annual painting spree on the bottom of his 40' Beneteau.

I have no experience but Coppercoat was reviewed by Practical Sailor
recently:
/Coppercoat earned a Poor performance rating at the 12-month mark (PS,
October 2010) and a Poor at the 18-month test checkup (PS, March
2011). It didn't make the cut after 24 months, so it was not included
in the two-year test results table in the October issue. (Search for
"Coppercoat
<http://www.practical-sailor.com/search/index.html?zkDo=search&sort_field=Rank&all_words=Coppercoat&x=25&y=9>"
on www.practical-sailor.com <http://www.practical-sailor.com/> to find
all of the reports on the paint's performance.) And while Coppercoat
is promoted as a 10-year coating, it does require regular cleaning to
expose fresh copper, which is not part of our protocol for the static
panel test and could explain its sub-par performance. Some readers
have reported good results over multiple seasons from using Coppercoat
with semi-monthly cleanings to remove slime./

Weekend # 2 -- going to begin (maybe finish) sanding non-skid
today. Relocate bilge pump thru hulls from transom to below transom.
Pictures to follow...
