How to make a hull faster? was created by arminius
I was wondering, has anyone come across a type of wax or other preparation to improve the hull speed by reducing drag? I know some racing yachts use a teflon coating which seems to provide improved performance. Any ideas? I remember from my dinghy sailing days that we would lightly sand the gelcoat with 400 wet paper but a bit reluctant to try this on my ski.
Another perfect day in paradise. A bit of sun, a bit of rain and it's not even lunch time.
