Hi Dwight,I use two people for this task. That way I can get far out for a good view of the fair line, while holding the tape roll, and say, "Tack it there." to the friend. My walking path is an arc from stern to bow to keep the tape landing where I want it.
In no time you can offer them a beer, after getting both sides' waterline or boot stripe fair and true.
Cheers, Russ

The problem that I have with taping straight lines is when I draw the tape off the roll say 2 or 3 feet at a time and lay it down with my left hand while holding the roll taught with my right hand, my right thumb always seems to stretch and distort the straight edge of the tape so that when I lay that section down the edge is distorted. How do others get around that problem? Is 3M fine line tape the answer to that?Dwight Veinot C&C 35 MKII, Alianna Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS ----------From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Jake BrodersenSent: April 23, 2013 10:18 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Boot Stripes -- Anyone need Brightside Red and Dk Blue? Andy,I use the 3M fine line tape. It is awesome. It stretches and curves just fine. Great stuff.Jake Jake Brodersen C&C 35 Mk-III Midnight Mistress Hampton VA cid:image001.png@01CE3D06.5A990940 _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
