I am very sorry I used bathroom underlayment for my two MiniCups. It
is such poor quality material that now I am covering the boats with
fiberglass. I highly reccomend that builders use a higher quality
material.

I have to admit, I might not have built them if I had to pay the price
for the marine ply. Since then, I have found how much I enjoy them so
wish I had paid the price. However, regardless of his position of
bathroom underlayment, I have learned a lot from William's posts.

FINALLY, got all the paint removed from the bottom of #1. For most of
it I just used a sander and that was a lot of work. Then I remembered
"Paint Remover" and went and bought a spray can of Citrus Strip (or
something like that) in a spray can. It sorta worked and at least
seriously lessened the work. I still had to do final removal with the
sander.
Now, I am ready to apply a coat of epoxy and lightweight glass.

FS: MiniCup 12' Sailboat - Well - I've run out of room for boats, so I'm having to sell the MiniCup. It's a fun little boat and is in good repair with all necessary hardware and a launching dolly. I'm asking $500Cdn OBO. The boat is located in Neustadt, Ontario - about 1 hour..
