Steve,
I know that racing is important to you so I wouldn't recommend the ablative
(soft) paint because you can't legally scrub the algae off the bottom
between races. I tried Pettit Vivid 2 years ago but it didn't seem to offer
the barnacle protection of the ablative paint. The Vivid paint also seemed
to scrub off though I know that some California owners scrub theirs.
Based on this I would also recommend the Pettit Trinidad (hard) paint. It
can be scrubbed responsibly. The down side of course Is that it must be
removed after several years as the coats build up.

Peregrine is on the hard and we are fairing the keel and sanding the bottom,
I'd love to hear recommendations from others on bottom paint. Ablative or
Hard, which brand and your experiences with them. Thanks.
