[C320-list] Bottom Paint for Dana Point (was: no subject)

[Gary Malcolmson]

Hello Bruce,

We keep our boat in Dana Point also.  Our dealer (in Marina del Rey) put 
on Pettit Trinidad when our boat was new, back in Nov-2002.  We're still 
on the original paint but my guess is were getting close to needing 
new.  I'm not sure if they used the Trinidad 'SR' or some other version; 
sorry I don't have that info.  Have you considered waiting to paint 
until the boat is here?  Something comes to mind in that you want to 
splash the boat without leaving the paint exposed to air too long.  From 
what I'm hearing from my dock neighbors, a bottom paint job will run 
about $1000 at Dana.

Have you got a slip yet?  If you need any suggestions for service 
providers (diver, riggers, canvas, etc) just drop me a note.

Good Luck on your move and hope to hear from you once you're here.

PS, I have a great photo of Dana Point from the air with Catalina Island 
in the background.  If you'd like a digital copy, let me know and I'll 
email it to you directly.

Regards,
Gary Malcolmson

Any recommendations would be much appreciated?  We race a few times a year but like to sail fast even when cruising and have the bottom cleaned by a diver monthly.
