I'd have to agree with Fstbttms. Applying anti-fouling bottom paint while dressed in a bikini is rather unwise and not very good for one's health, regardless of how good it is for advertising. Most people I know who are painting the bottom of their boats are wearing long sleeves and pants and minimizing skin exposure to the bottom paint.
Also, having worked with the paint industry for many years, I have to question how good the adhesion of this paint really is if there is little or no bottom surface preparation per their recommendation. This is particularly the case if applied over a soft ablative coating.
I'm also curious why Shipbottom rated so well in Practical Sailor tests for four years, 1996-1999, but hasn't been mentioned at all in the past eight years. Hmm...

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
