Hi Mike: Welcome to the group. I have sailed Dulcibella and she is a beautiful boat. Best of luck with her. I am sure that David sells her with a heavy heart but he just wasn't using her that much. Your dealer's recommendation sounds right. The waterline is trickier,especially because of the lapstrake. If you search the archives I believe there is information on how best to do this.
