Giu, Beautiful job your men have done on the bottom.
But, when I look at that greenish band that was covered by the cradle's support, am I seeing what your bottom looked like - just prior to hauling? If so, the anti-fouling paint wasn't THAT spectacular.
A little research on my posts specially those from when she was hauled out in May, will show you that we used a dye to mark the water line, when we picked her with the travel lift, because I changed the water lines remember?? They were blue and green and now red and blue!!
I looked at the Jotun web site -- no hint of US sales office. No other google hits with US addresses.
Makes me think it is not available here. Why not? I believe the EU standards for toxicity applicable to anti-fouling treatments are more stringent than US standards. So why shouldn't it be available here?
BTW Alex, you never answered the question about the algae-colored swath where the support was. That was NOT your waterline. What was it?
I did reply, and I even have a video of when she was hauled out, and even made it in a thread. and when it was done, it was "over" done...and coloured more than the boat..so just let it die, ok? I am not proud of that. We now have black sardines in Portugal.
By the way, the photos of the painting are not from now, they were from May 2007, when the boat was painted. When Tom and Val were there.
