I don't mean gelcoat do i,

It's the light weight coat stuff thats really smooth and helps the water flow around the hull.

surely the gelcoat will just crack off if you take the boat out in any sort of chop due to the flexing of the hull. do you mean a spray job? i also fail to see how gelcoat will make the boat any faster with the extra weight probably offsetting and smoothness gained on the hull.

My dog will swim out to my boat as I'm coming ashore.  I then scoop him up (he's a jack russell) and plonk him in the cockpit.

Haven't taught him to use the trapeze yet though.
the same, but different...

We sail in brightlingsea and know loads of the boat builders there it was just a matter of one of them owing me a favour.

P.S Give me a month or two for pictures, we don't get it out of storage until april and i haven't got any as we've only sailed it 3 times last year as testing.
