[Rhodes22-list] smooth bottoms

[Steve]

Peter
A wax hull is faster than just fibreglass.  Fibreglass
is pourous and will absorb water and it don't take
long for slime to build on it.  

A good hard coat of antifouling paint either spray or
hand brushed is best.  Never roll your antifouling
paint.  Those bums created by rolling it is a haven
for slime.
