At tradewinds Mischa seemed very detail oriented when it came to the boat he was sailing. Him and Carrie were spending a while on tricking the boat out.
For this reason I find it surprising that he would sail a boat with painted sails.
While some aspects of having paint on the sails such as changing the surface and flow characteristics would have minimal to no affect... there is no doubt that the paint would add weight to the boat and even worse weight aloft.
I'm interested to what Mischa would have to say about this or if he just doesn't care because it looks so darn cool.
Also, what kind of paint is it?!? How is it not chipping?
