Not too sure of the answer here but suggest
1) Go onto "contessa 26 Links" -select Jeremy Rogers site and e'mail Jeremy - you should get an answer in a couple of days ( or you could ring them ! )

2)If you had a survey done when you purchased is there a comment on state of hull ?

I would recommend that you use perfection 709. This is a two part paint and gives a fabulous finish that will ou last any other.
When applying, use a radiator roller with a gloss foam roller. apply thinly and have someone else there with a soft brush to gently brush with downward sweeps before the paint dries (sometimes called nebbing) This gives a very smooth finish.
