Hey, Bnort3- where are you now? On the go or back in Rock Hall? I'll be in RH Friday thru Sunday at Sailing Emporium.... Also look at the BoatUS site. They do design-as-you-go and quick service.

1: Dename the boat properly by inbibing the gods and goddeses of the sea.
2: As you found out; EasyOff works great.
3: Do the renaming ritual and imbibe the Gods and Goddeses properly.
I did step 3 both right after adding the new name, on the dry, and right after first launch. I figured having water all aroud her was a good thing.

Sounds like Easy Off is the ticket. I now have a weekend project. Regarding the vinyl letters, can you get them with specific fonts/design? I'd like something simple, navy blue.!
I ordered our vinyl letters and registeration numbers from this company. I put them on both sides of Liberty and they look TERRIFIC. The price was reasonable, too. I chose this company because they also have a very good video for application techniques. You will see exactly what your letters will look like and cost before you order. Very versatile website.

I also removed the old hand painted on name. Since I was repainted the entire hull, I used sandpaper, gradually decreasing the grit size so that it was smooth to the touch (close your eyes and run your hand over the sanded area - if you can feel it, you will see it).

BTW, I did all this without the small g ceremonies and we've had our BEST sailing season yet!

They are just letting you relax and let your guard down before they strike. ;)
