You haven't answered the question Franck.
- Please prove to me there is a performance advantage in painted vs gelcoated hulls.
Hi, never too late, Alex U. said that (proving enough ??) recently on a commercial website:
"- And the famous paint...
The gelcoat doesn´t makes the boat stronger, is dead weight, so we decided to use paint and reinforce the laminate schedule giving us a better use of the class rules in the benefit of the final sailor that will receive a more stiffer and stronger boat."
