[ham] [Rhodes22-list] Stan, will the real paint stand up?

[Michael Meltzer]

1/2 an inch growth, O-boy, I complement that you are able to sail at all, The Spanish galleons where luckily to make 2 knots with
their fouled hulls.

a clean hull with no paint last less than a week around me. the funny thing, you end up with a hull with 10000 of eye looking at you
and "creatures" stright from a nightmare.
