I won't answer anymore, because we're now in sailing period and I'm training my club youth team: it is my passion. I'm not paid for that :), as to write (badly) here, so everybody can understand I prefer be on the water..
Err, didn't you say that you weren't going to reply here anymore??
Anyhow, here are the vote results related to paint:-
Do we wish to change in the future the rules regarding hull exterior finish?
vote result :
YES : 947
NO : 0
If Yes, do we wish to allow “painted hulls” as the external finish?
vote result :
YES : 708
NO : 561
If Yes, do we wish to have a restricted paint list ?
vote result :
YES : 190
NO : 499
What is pretty funny about the above is that despite the NCA's clearly voting that they did not want a restricted paint list, the Class management have taken it upon themselves to compile a list of all paints used by builders so they can formulate an approved paint list!!
