I have a question for you more experienced Potter sailors. Just a year ago
I received my new P-19 and kept her for the better part of 10 months in fresh
water. My boat log says Moon Shadow was sailed 65 times during the year
and both times I took her out of the water it was easy to clean the scum/algea
off her bottom. As hard as I look for information I have not found out if I
should
paint her bottom. What should I do?

Jim,
It`s obvious you love this boat,after all you sailed
Her 65 times in one year. Look at Her bottom if
YOU don`t think She needs painting, She don`t
need painting!! Just use your common sense and
all will go well. The Potter is a good boat.
