Rick,

Yes, "Not for use below the waterline" means for boats that stay in the water.

I give the hull the same treatment as the deck, but the main thing is to be sure to get enough on for the UV exposure that you'll get, and enough to make the hull look as nice as the deck.

Look forward to seeing you and your Guillemot at R2K1!

: We're just starting to varnish the new Guillemot. Hope to have it out at R2K1
: with outriggers, but first the varnish.

: Per System 3 recommendation for compatibility, we chose 'Flagship'. After
: paying way too much to keep on schedule, it says 'not for use below the
: waterline'. What I think that means is for boats that will stay in the
: water forever, this stuff will not protect you boat from sea pests...

: Is it worth while to varinsh below the waterline? 1 coat, 2 coats, 10?

: Thanks,

: Rick
