[Rhodes22-list] hull problems?

[elle]

I can affirm what jim has noted....my hull had Trinidad on it when recycled, but having my engine installation etc done took several months, so the Trinidad lost its antifouling capability.

This has nothing to do with the cracking question, but I don't think Pettit Trinidad is recommended for trailer sailing.  You want a paint described as "multi season" most of which are ablative (soft) paint. Most hard paints lose antifouling ability when out of the water for an extended period.
