[Public-List] Preferred Chesapeake Bay Bottom Paint

[C.B. Currier]

I use both Baltoplate and have used Trinidad.
I have to say you would only want Baltoplate IF you were racing the 
boat. But with regards to Trinidad - it is extraordinary ! I had a boat 
in the water for 5 years with a double coat of Trinidad. Once a year I'd 
scrape the bottom / wipe it off but other than that when the boat got 
hauled it was in amazing shape. When she was hauled I was able to take a 
scraper to the growth and it pretty much fell off. There was No damage 
to the hull and I have to say I would definitely use that paint again - 
and am considering it for this spring.

Although I am also considering the Vibrant as well.

I think the best choice may also depend on where you keep and sail your 
boat so look to that as well.
