How long does race bottom prep last?
This next haulout we are planning to do more than just tip & roll the bottom paint in prep for the local PHRF club racing.
Question.... if we spend more time fairing the bottom and then smoothing with perhaps 200 grit & 400 grit, how long will that improvement last?
-- Does the regular bottom cleaing undo our work?
-- What will be required for prep again when the antifouling is reapplied at the haulout AFTER this one?
Assume bottom cleaned by diver monthly. She is a 41 ft keel boat in the water all year long in S. CA. Existing bottom paint is a hard modified epoxy; Interlux Ultra Kote
Thanks
Paul
