[Rhodes22-list] smooth bottoms

[Peter Thorn]

Ed,

Thanks, I'll nose around there.

On my racing dinghies, we don't use waxes as they are considered slow.  Just
a clean, hard, smooth "wetting" surface is considered best.  The beading up
of water on a waxed surface messes up laminar flow, I'm told -- although it
might keep the hull cleaner.
