Here is a shot of #45 from last summer . The light blue gelcoat is visable in several places .
Near the bow on left , at waterline . Several places where I sanded through the dark blue paint .
Notice also on the bottom where PeelAway has removed the bottom paint just aft the yard stand .
#45 had one of the worse accumulations of bottom paint I ever saw , very thick and rock hard .It had sat in the water , un-hauled for over 10 years and quite a growth of flowing tendriles over a yard long , sponges and barnacles the size of limes .
