Paint Job for Proto-Boat

The Proto-boat got a sand job and coat of paint last night.  I used the old fashioned Interlux anti-fouling paint.

If our corporate sponsors ever fork out their promised dough, we might be able to afford some Micron technology paint. (See http://www.yachtpaint.com/usa/).  We need to squeeze every last efficiency possible out of this beast if we hope to move anywhere close to our target speed (2 Nm)

    No paypal account yet, but when we get one I’ll also be selling my custom work-benches as a feature item.
