[Rhodes22-list] hull problems?

My new boat came with a good coat of Trinidad petit last year and held up well in the Chesapeake bay.  I hauled out and spent the winter on jack stands.  Gave the bottom a light sanding and applied a new gallon of the same Trinidad just before the spring launch.  I don't think the Trinidad works as well for trailer sailing but it does work well for seasonal protection in the water slip.  I also make it a point to get out in extreme wind and sea conditions during small craft warnings to keep the bottom in good shape.  Keeps the barnacles from growing under my feet too.
