When i come back in 6 month im going on a 6 month windward/leeward island sailing trip with the fam. Cheers for the info.

You don't state where you are yet...
Here in
Singapore with a high growth
environment and ~26 DegC
water I have used 3 different paints. Micron Extra has so far worked the best - I can't afford Micron 66.
Boat generally used weekly, I wipe the
hull every month. At about 12-13 months I have to wipe the
hull every 2 weeks and at 18 months I have to reapply.
