440: Maintenance

[JeffBurnes]

I just recently purchased a Lagoon 440 (2009 model) it is coming out of charter in August 2017 and I have booked it to be slipped at Mega Yard in St Martin. We are planning to cruise around the Caribbean and I am wondering if anyone can recommend a preferred anti fouling for this area.

We had our (400 Lagoon) bottom painted with Micron 66 last May 2016. So far so good. We've brushed the bottom 4 times now and scraped 3 and still looks good. We did sit out most of hurricane season in Grenada day sailing about a dozen times. I saw other boats that appeared to have more growth than ours.
I'm happy with it so far. Hope the 2nd year goes as well.
