I'm glad this discussion is going on as I'm having my bottom painted in a couple of weeks. I was pretty convinced I was going to use VC Offshore as I intend to race and cruise it in salt water this summer for several months (home port is fresh water) and maybe leave the boat permantly in salt water. This made me rule out VC17. I live quite a ways from any convienent haulouts so I don't really want to repaint every spring. Then the yard (which builds race boats) recommended Petit Trinidad (modified epoxy-sprayed on). I told him I was the proverbial racer/cruiser and he thought the VC Offshore wasn't all that fast especially compared to VC17. And then I read in Practical Sailor that Petit Trinidad was the top rated paint ( at least in the fouling department. Now I'm unsure but the discussions seem to be all about VC. Has anybody used the Petit Trinidad??? Lance Symbiosis |
