Hull, I hope the boatyard remembered to sand the fibreglas first, even though you did not mention it - a key step to getting good adhesion. Some years ago companies were promoting a no-sand process to save labor and it didn't work very well - my sister-in-law has an 18 with a lot of water intrusion because of it.

The paint companies typically have excellent, comprehensive guides. Here is the one from Interlux: http://www.yachtpaint.com/LiteratureCentre/BPG_US_2016_web.pdf
