Pettit Paints has a “Vivid” series of anti-fouling paint, with a variety of colors from which to choose, one being white. It probably won’t be as slippery as the VC-17, but the hull will be protected and will look good out there sitting on the mooring.
Vc17 comes in red and navy blue too. Sounds like you used the regular
The first thought that comes to mind is using an epoxy barrier coat kind of paint, rather than an "aesthetic" top-coat kind of paint. An epoxy barrier coat would be very hard and durable, and if you sand it properly could be smooth and would be a good foundation for some kind of antifouling (although I'd rather just pull the boat out with a dolly after every use). If you really want to moor the boat... I believe there are some interesting non-traditional bottom paints that are simply incredibly slick and allow you to wipe off marine growth, rather than killing it with toxins.
I was going to recommend the same. Our friend has a similar setup, but with 2 "H" frames for storing a paddleboat, should be easy to replicate for a Sunfish.How about this as an option? Then you can just spray 3 cans of Rustoleum (or paint with Rustoleum Marine) Cheap and easy. I would avoid anti-fouling paint.
Not my boat, I use a Seitech dolly, but this might work for you!

Dock augers, I think. There are likely various options based on the lakebed material.How is that mounted to the lakebed?

I cannot find that Rustoleum actually endorses their marine paint to be used under the waterline. I do like the price and the ease though...Nice idea !!
Rustoleum Topsides is commonly used on canoes and sea kayaks. I've done 3. While a canoe isn't as fast as a Sunfish you probably don't take a Sunfish through rocky Class III rapids. It holds up well above and below waterline. My canoes have spent up to a week in the water on extended trips and have not noticed any issues.I cannot find that Rustoleum actually endorses their marine paint to be used under the waterline.
