[Rhodes22-list] smooth bottoms

[Thena Carville]

Haven't posted in a while, but just could not stay quiet on this one...The
racers I know "dry sail" and use a teflon POLISH (better than the waxes) on
their bottoms...I don't know anyone who waxes....they sand to get the
smoothest finish and then they polish..a few companies make polishes...you
can find them next to the waxes at most stores...if you can feel any dimples
or bumps, you haven't finished sanding...the bottoms of the boats (no matter
how awful the paint job) are incredibly smooth......the slicker the finish,
the faster the boat......these do not protect the finish like a wax
would...they are used to make the other sailors nervous...
