Leave the boat in the water for about a month. This will allow some growth
to occur. Wipe off the growth as best you can, and you will have a nearly
perfect representation in dull brown or green of what you need to paint.
After marking the area edge, some light wet sanding will remove the last of
the algae stain before painting. I used this system (inadvertently) and it
has worked perfectly.

I purchased a"19" a year ago, and sailed her 'off the trailer' last
summer. This year I have rented a slip at a local marina (freshwater
lake)(it's IOWA!). My brother-in-law believes I should put anti-fouling
paint on the bottom before I put it in the slip. I have a deep blue
hull, and really want to paint only the portion which is underwater,
hence the question. How do I determine the waterline on the hull?
Also, any advise about type of paint, hull preparation for the paint,
etc. would be most appreciated. I've never done anything like this
before.
