Gary,
We are in Slip J25 on the Island side. I didn't get a quote from Dana Point
Ship Yard but I know We$T Marine get's $220 per gallon and as near as I can
tell it takes about two gallons per coat.
We are members of DWYC; it would be great if we could meet up for dinner
and/or drinks when we get back to CA, 949-289-8400.
Best,
Bruce
Somerset #671 SoCal

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

Point, CA we will be giving her a new coat of bottom paint. She currently
is wearing Pettit Trinidad SR. 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.
