I've had my Typhoon Weekender, Pokey II, for 15 years in fresh water only. I will be mooring her in salt water (Little Neck Bay, NY) for the first time this year. I've never had to apply bottom paint before. My question is, since she is sitting on a trailer, there will be several small spots where I won't be able to apply the paint, including the entire bottom of the keel where she sits on a plank. Is this significant?

THE VESSEL ONE SPOT AT A TIME AND PAINT EACH SPOT IF POSSIBLE.

CAN PAINT THESE SPOTS RIGHT BEFORE YOU LAUNCH. AFTER SAILING ON
LITTLE NECK BAY FOR OVER 20 YEARS (DOUGLASTON YACHT SQUADRON)
I HAVE FOUND THAT THE INTERLUX MICRON WITH BILOUX (SLIME BLOCKER)
WORKED GREAT LAST YEAR. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN LAUNCH SERVICE
FROM DOUGLASTON SEND ME A SEPERATE E-MAIL AND I WILL GET YOU THE
REQUIRED INFO.
