Hello and welcome to the Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States podcast.  This is part 1 of a two-part interview with Heath Moldveen, who is a technical sales rep for Sea Hawk Premium Yacht Finishes.  It was a long interview, so we split it into 2 parts.  In the first part, we had a great conversation about the various different types of anti-fouling paints, how to pick the best one for your boat and how location and boat use play a role in selecting bottom paint.  We also discussed the process for painting, including the critical preparation steps.  Heath also addressed what to look for when selecting a yard to paint the bottom of your boat. In part two of the podcast, Heath gives some great tips for the DIY person so you can get a professional result.  Make sure and listen to both episodes.
