    Talking sharkskin bottom paint

    The thing is with this new paint is that you have to carefully brush it on with single strokes from stem to stern. No back strokes. If you do it backwards, from stern to bow, you can never move the boat out of the marina, it would be stuck there.

    The scales on most sharks are really micro and reduce the stickyness of water, reduce eddys that create drag, and reduce the noise of the water passing over the body. Really.

    Fishermen like this new coating for its stealth quality, silent running. There have been experiments painting props, but nobody has figured out how to back up.

    Boats that sail on their ear like Ariels will probably paint their topsides as well with this stuff. Comes in 3 colors: grey, grey and grey.

    The raucus drumming of a fiberglass hull punching thru the joyful waves will all but be forgot as the boat silemtly slithers thru tamed liquid without a bone in her teeth, without making a bow wave, without leaving a wake. snif
