Are you aware of the many changes that have taken place in anti-fouling bottom paints for pleasure boats? The April 8 membership meeting speaker will be Brian Kieb from Pettit Paint Company (pettit.com), whose theme will be Environmentally Friendly Bottom Paints along with Repair Epoxies. Brian has been employed by Pettit for 24 years, spending the first four inside before moving to their labs for one year in R&D. During the ensuing years Brian has traveled through the Mid-Atlantic states of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee promoting the Pettit line and handling customer relations and technical support. He regularly does field testing for new products. NOTE: Brian usually brings some goodies for those in attendance, so don't miss a great presentation from an expert in his field and a chance to take home a gift from Pettit.
The minutes of recent membership meetings may be found in our
archives here.

A tour of the UK Sailmakers loft is planned for 7 February 2015. Click here to see details and to register. After the tour, we'll all have lunch at a local restaurant. This should be a fun time! If you have questions about the tour, call Gale Alls or Dick Durgin.
